All the radio guys have been talking about Jesus and His last week. I ate it up and my eyes watered at it all. Here are some thoughts that tugged at me.
*Jesus became our sins.
Have you wondered at Nazis and the killing of the Jews? Have you wondered at the rapist? or the child abuser? or wife beater? or murderers? What about the ones who got off and never paid for their sins? Has someone hurt you with their words or their hands? Have you done so to someone else? Jesus took every ugly sin and bore it. He drank the cup given by God the Father with His eyes WIDE OPEN. He became our disgusting sins. To see Jesus in this way is very disturbing! But He had to this for us so that we can live our eternal lives in a pure and holy kingdom.
*God the Father deserted His one and only beloved Son Jesus.
Jesus experienced for the first time God's exclusion. Jesus felt utter loneliness like no other so that we don't have to ever be lonely again! Wow!!! Hmmm, maybe I need to just hush up about my alone journey!!
*The Resurrection is God's AMEN to Jesus' Crucifixion.
not abandoned ... Easter's gift
