Jesus’s Song - Hymn  in the midst of  Suffering

                       “When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives”
                                                                                                                      Matthew 26:30/ Mark 14:26.

     The Bible contains many songs. Song of Miriam,song of Mary, Psalms  etc.. These songs are created in various situations ie the time of victory, the time of joy, the time of sadness etc. Did Jesus sing?
Matthew 26:30/ Mark 14:26.
These are the only Bible portion which we can find in Gospel about the singing of Jesus. This happened just after the Lord’s Supper. How can we sing in the time of troubles and suffering. Here, Jesus is going to face a very crucial and painful situation in his life which He already knew.  Tomorrow is not a good day for Him.
We have various types of hymns for various situations. Most of the hymns/ songs are created from various composers who are facing painful situations and different problems. These songs are very meaning full and heart touching. Because this is coming from the experience of reality.
One important thing is that, the music is very helpful in the time of stress and strain. Through songs, we can find hope and relief. Here Jesus and His Disciples spend some moments for sing praise to the God. They sang during the time of pain.

Friends, today we are facing various types of stress and strain in our daily life. But we should remember one thing. We are called as a cross bearers of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let us sing to the Lord…Let us make harmony… May God bless us and guide us with His amazing harmony in our life  with new hope and blessings.
