“God is on a cross. The creator of the universe is being executed. Spit and blood are caked on his cheeks and his lips are cracked and swollen. Thorns rip his scalp. His lungs scream with pain. His legs knot with cramps…and there is no one to save him, for he is sacrificing himself. It is no normal six hours…it is no normal Friday.” ~ Max Lucado
So whether you're lying to your boyfriend, or living with your girlfriend, beating your children or cheating on your taxes, if you're drinking, gambling or shopping away your paycheck, whether you're tired or angry, bitter or jealous, if you're lazy or controlling or depressed or afraid...today, He died for us. Lest we forget.
“He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.” 1 Peter 2:24-25
