Today is Good Friday and is one of the most solemn holidays, but has a happy ending! I just finished watching “The Passion of the Christ”. I try to do this every year just to get a renewed perspective on what Jesus did for me and for you. The reality of His love for us really is unreal. I cannot imagine being Jesus and knowing what kind of world we are today and still saying “Yes I love them enough to endure the worst possible torture to save them, even if they choose not to love me.” That is pretty amazing. I praise Him for sacrificing His life so I can spend eternity with Him. Now, He commands us that with accepting His grace, love, and forgiveness we HAVE to do the same. I know I fall short on this so many times. So I am going to work very hard as seeing everyone through Jesus eyes. He was not up there for just me, He was up there for that person that just gets under your skin as well. So even though today is so sad I am thankful that it is not the end of the story! I am so looking forward to celebrating His resurrection on Sunday!!!! Praise God for the gift of His Son!
John 13:34-35- “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
