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.

Great to see a post from you! It is really amazing just how much we are loved and we didn't do anything to deserve it either. He loved us that much! All of us, not just part of us but all of us. Have a Blessed Good Friday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just finished reading two pages about the Crucifixion and what Jesus went through physically. When I was finished I was in tears. I don't think we, in the 21st century America, know what it was really like for Jesus to be scourged, to carry the beam, to hang on the cross and not be able to breathe... the agony... YES! HE LOVES US SO!!! That is the message! Thank you, Krissy!! Happy Easter to you!!! Love you so very much, and John, too!!!
ReplyDelete@Valerie -- I bet I read the same two pages as you did. They were from CBN, if i remember correctly. is that what you read, pages from a CBN article? i was stunned as i read the article. if people knew more about the passion and the ressurrection, they certainly would do more to consider our Lord, and to follow Him more closely, and to take more care not to dissappoint Him. Anyway, you are right, He loves us SO much. Let us love Him back. And let us be grateful for His love, for it is wonderful. Let us marvel in it, let us love it, let us be healed by it! Blessed be God forever!

ReplyDeleteJust found this blog again, Krissy. Beautiful entry. I love following people who love Jesus as I do. Hope all is well with you in your corner of the world. I know you're on Facebook but don't go on there as often as I once did; can't with Johnny on hospice.
