Good Friday
Does Jesus really love you? I say look to how He agreed to be crucified. Look at the old
rugged cross. Look at every thorn that punctured His brow. Look at every mark on His back, every
lacerating scourge. Notice every hair of His beard plucked from His cheeks by cruel
fingers. Consider every bruise which heavy fists made upon His head. Jesus said, "I love
you" by all the spit that landed on His face. By every drop of sinless blood
that fell to the ground. Jesus showed His love for you through every breath of pain which He drew upon the
cross. By every beat of His loving heart, Jesus, while dying on the cross, stretched out his arms, and said, "I love you this much." Then He died for you.
