Good Friday



For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23


It's really beautiful...
...That we are supposed to die. We are supposed to be perfect, but we mess-up and even though we mess-up and are definitely not perfect, Jesus took that upon Himself. We were supposed to die, and deserve to because like it says, 'the wages of sin is death;' we are supposed to die because we screw-up, but to take care of that requirement, Jesus, the only perfect person who didn't ever sin, took care of that for us.

And to be really random, Rob Bell, in Everything Is Spiritual, talks about how God does not have a linear perception of time, which means he can look in, and be in random parts of time constantly. So thinking of it like that, Rob talks about how Jesus is dying every second for us, and for each of us individually. That is reason in itself to be in constant admiration and appreciation of it, not just on Good Friday, but all the time... reverence in that...

Thank you Lord for dying, and still dying for me and you.
For me and you.
For me and you.
For me and you.
