The CHURCH has been called by God!

If there is a ever a time for us to live in worship and praise, now is the time!
If there is a ever a time for godly character, holiness, living separated from the ungodly, now is the time!
Isaiah
Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life—Let us live in Victory over sin!!
Schadenfreude
—The emotion of pleasure-in-others'-misfortune is generally regarded as morally evil.
It is often considered to be less acceptable than envy, which is regarded as a deadly sin.
Is schadenfreude even a thing?
Schadenfreude is the exact opposite of empathy.
The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer denounced it as the worst possible emotion a human can demonstrate.
It would appear to be morally more perverse to be pleased with another person's misfortune than to be displeased with another person's good fortune.
Indeed Arthur Schopenhauer argues that
to feel envy is human, but to enjoy other people's misfortune is diabolical, devilish.
For Schopenhauer,
pleasure-in-others'-misfortune is the worst trait in human nature since it is closely related to cruelty.
In describing pleasure-in-others'-misfortune, two features are not disputable: our pleasure and the other's misfortune.
These features describe a significant conflict between our positive evaluation of the situation and the negative evaluation of the other person.
This conflict indicates the presence of a comparative, and sometimes even, a competitive, concern.
A major reason for being pleased with the misfortune of another person is that this person's misfortune may somehow benefit us; it may, for example, emphasize our superiority.
During the last week of the life of Jesus, we see the grandeur of His character, His composure and dignity as He stood face to face with death.
He came to Jerusalem well aware that He was about to die.
He knew it was His Father’s will.

Do you remember—Schadenfreude?
the other person is perceived to deserve the misfortune,
For example, when stuck in a traffic jam, should a driver pass us on our right by driving on the hard shoulder, our anger will be replaced by pleasure when we see a policeman giving the driver a ticket.
The belief that the other person deserves his misfortune expresses our assumption that justice has been done and enables us to be pleased in a situation where we seem required to be sad.
The more deserved the misfortune is, the more justified is the pleasure.
Jesus is perceived to deserve what He got.
He was betrayed by Judas—who then led the crowd to where Jesus was.
