"And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right and the other in the left. Then Jesus said, Father forgive them for they know not what they do... "
Luke 23:33-34
Imagine living this day 2000 years ago? Could you had handled it knowing what was taking place? To know what Jesus suffered is more then I let myself think about. That's selfish of me I know, because he did that for me and you. Alas when I read ill skip over that or if someone asks me to watch The Passion of The Christ with them I decline. It's to heartbreaking to see. Even though no movie or re-enactment can even come close to what he suffered. With that suffering came our redemption! So as bittersweet as it is his suffering paved our way to him! I Have WAY to much up in heaven waiting on me to even give thought to turning back now! If you don't know Jesus in a personal way then I encourage you strongly to. Accept him in your life and find peace you never dreamed possible!
1.) I'm thankful for my opportunity to serve our Lord. Although I don't witness enough I'm thankful that I can.
2.) I'm thankful for the Cross and what it represents. It's paved a road to heaven for us. An eternal life of peace and happiness.
3.) I'm thankful for my family. My mother, my grandmothers, and so many more have been such wonderful lights to my life and a source of encouragement.
4.) I'm thankful for Waneta Church of God, being there helped mold me and strengthen me. They taught me how to love people.
5.) I'm thankful for that 3rd day. The stone was rolled back and there was no denying what had taken place.
I love this song by Casting Crowns. Its such a perfect explanation.
Glorious Day
