Today goes down as a day in history. Who would have died for you???
Not many would have died on the cross for your sins. We need to look at all that Jesus has done.
What Did Jesus Do?
1. He was accused of being King of the Jews.
2. He was whipped with 39 stripes on his back.
3. He had a bed of thorns placed on his head.
4. He had to walk all the way to cavalry with a heavy cross on his back (task not completed due to being weak and needing help). Therefore, walked the rest of the way in a hot dusty road to Calvalry.
5. Had his hands nailed to the cross.
6. Had his feet nailed to the cross. Was lifted up with his hands and feet for all to see in humiliation.
7. Nicely baked in the sun for hours until nicely agonized. Forgive those who were involved for they knew not what they had done. Pierced in the side to show that he was dead.
Could you have done all this?? Would you have wanted to??
Whew, I don't know about you but thank God for Jesus OXX Jesus.

This is pretty heady stuff. The friend I was going to spend Easter with
ReplyDeletewas in a traumatic accident with a motorcycle and has been in the hospital for a month now. Miraculously after several surgical procedures he was out of ICU on April 11 and in a quiet room overlooking the Hudson River. I attended Easter service on Saturday instead of Sunday and enjoyed Easter Brunch with him at St. Vincent's.
All I can say is here's to the power of resurrection and all the prayers that make it possible! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful blog Deborah.
