Hey, ya'll.
So, I just finished watching The Passion of The Christ for the first time. I'm in awe of Him all over again. We become desensitized to the crucifixion so often, or I do, at least. I hear it so often that it becomes a routine thing we listen to. Just another message.
NO.
Watching this movie has made me realize all over again the amazing nature of my Savior. He's ... indescribable. He has a love for me that's deeper than the nails that were driven into His hands because of my sin. He has a love deeper than the pain He felt at His father forsaking Him. And the best part? Not that it's eternal, not that I benefit from it, but that I am allowed to share it. That I get to be a part of His plan to share His glory, when it was me that drove Him to the cross. It was me that drove the nails into His hands, my sin. And He is allowing me to be one of the ones to speak His name, to call him Father, Savior, Friend. It's amazing that so often we forget that even to speak to Him is such an awesome privilege. I know that so often I forget who it is I'm speaking to, and I fill the silence with empty words that, in the end, mean nothing.
While watching this movie, all I could think of was the chorus: "Yes, He loves us/ Oh, how He loves us, oh...". In fact, the most popular scripture that we know says just that. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The fact that God gave us, sinners, the most precious gift we could ever receive is beyond belief. I find myself amazed by God over and over, especially after watching this movie.
This blog, for April has been so filled with God, and that's how I hope to keep it. I've been apologizing for "preaching" to you, but no more. I don't apologize for loving the Savior who created me, and saved me. In the end, I want to praise Him, because He's worthy, and I'm not.
See you tomorrow.
Hebrews 2:10-11
