How many think that the nails are what held Jesus to the cross? Put your hands down; you're wrong. It was His love for you that held Him there. He knew you and I could not satisfy the sacrificial requirements fit for our King. So knowing this, through His love for you, He voluntarily gave Himself for you and I. He was not held there by the holding power of the nails, rather it was the weight of the world that held Him there. A weight that only the perfect Lamb of God could stand and bear. At the cross He said Father forgive them for they know not what they do; still today, as we sin against God, He intercedes for us. The eternal ring of Father forgive them echoes down through the generations. Ever present is our Savior, the Love of God, pointing to the cross saying their debt is paid, they are free to go, to live, to love, to even worship and enjoy time in the presence of the King. You know, it actually doesn't sound very fair; as a race we fell into sin and the Lamb had to be slain. A couple of thousand years later we are still sinning against our perfect God, all the while, the Lamb whose body was broken, with eyes full of adoration for us, is pleading Father forgive them....
What is it in your life that would cause you to look at the sacrifice of the One who loves you and gave his life for you, would make you decide you could not give your life to Him? Or even beyond that, the ones who have walked with Him in the past, but felt a life in Christ was too hard, so you walked away from the One who never walked away from you. Even as you turn your back to Him, cold and calloused, He is still there with a tear in His eye for you saying Father forgive them. He stands there with His arms open wide, awaiting your return. Give Christ an Easter present this year; give him your heart OR give Him your heart back!
There is a bumper sticker that says "Real Men Love Jesus". Well I'll have you to know that REAL women do too!
If you have any concerns or questions or fears; please post a comment and allow me some form of communication with you. I would love nothing more than to share this Jesus that is so precious to me, with you.
HAPPY RESURRECTION SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amen. Because of this....I MUST go! If you any questions or comments please post them in the comments section and I will respond to you. Thank you!
