This the day…that we can hardly bear to think about…and yet…
“…looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:2
For the joy...of bringing the Father’s wayward children home...
King Jesus…fully God…co-equal, co-divine, co-eternal, and co-existent…endured the cross, so many years ago…for us. And yet…
King Jesus was fully man…simply google the physical attributes of being crucified to somewhat realize what He went through…for us. And yet…
It was the separation from the Father…as Abba, Daddy had turn His gaze from the One so laden with our iniquity. That rending of the very fabric of Pure Love between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit…that was the greatest torture of all that He experienced…for us. And yet…
He did it all for joy…the joy of bringing us back home.
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:”
John 1:12
So this day…take time to remember…take time to lower your head and bow your knees to the One and Only. Yes, remember what He did for us…And yet…
Raise your head…lift your hands…through the tears…smile. For Easter is coming…
For us.
