I posted this on Facebook and Myspace several days ago, but I thought today was a good day to share it here.
The following is from Grace for the Moment by Max Lucado. It is an excerpt from And the Angels Were Silent.
"Then Jesus went about a stone's throw away from them. He kneeled down and prayed." Luke 22:41
The final prayer of Jesus was about you. His final pain was for you. His final passion was for you. Before He went to the cross, Jesus went to the garden. And when He spoke with His Father, you were in His prayers...
And God couldn't turn His back on you. He couldn't because He saw you, and one look at you was all it took to convince Him. Right there in the middle of a world which isn't fair. He saw you cast into a river of life you didn't request. He saw you betrayed by those you love. He saw you with a body which gets sick and a heart which grows weak...
On the eve of the cross, Jesus made His decision. He would rather go to hell for you than go to Heaven without you.
I don't know about you, but this brought me to tears. I cannot even wrap my human brain around that kind of love. We say we love our family and friends more than life. We say it's unconditional. We say it's pure. It is, as far as our earthly hearts and minds can reach. However, THIS love....THIS is a kind of love we can't even begin to understand or imagine. THIS is the love that sets us free...that gives us LIFE.
HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY to you all! ;D
