With Easter this week, I keep finding myself thinking of the cross. It really is the base of what my faith comes down to. Without the cross, without Jesus, there is no hope. There is no reason to persevere, to live, to move forward. But because God became man, and came to live a perfect life in a fallen world, and was crucified on a cross between two criminals for MY sin and the rest of the world's sin, and then rose from the grave 3 days later-because of that, I have a hope, future, and purpose. Because He loves me and you so much, He died a brutal, undeserved death so that we can be with Him now and for eternity if we choose. And He so badly wants us to choose Him and what He has. I am so thankful.
This song is on my church's media page that has several of the songs that they perform on Sundays. Check it out.
"When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." John 19:30
I think the song says it all. Love it. So true of my life. I had a horrible April Fool's joke played on me today, and this song came to mind during the 30 minutes that I thought so many things had changed and been ruined. Maybe I'll write about that next. Enjoy this song, I do.
