Good Friday Thoughts

Science can give us a feeling
of being smart.
Politics and fame can give us
a sense of importance.
Religion can make us believe
that we are actually good.
But when we look at the Messiah
hanging on a cross, beaten and bleeding
and breathing His last for our sin;
when we truly look at who He is
and what He has done,
we look at the Truth.
We are but foolish vapors
who are deceitful and selfish
in everything we do.
And yet He did this for us anyway.
The sinless Christ knows what we truly are
and yet He still chose to endure
that agony for us.
When I see Him through His Word,
I can see nothing of value in myself
for Him to love.
But He does.

Amazing mercy...

grace indescribable...

love beyond words.......

Let me never take my eyes off the One who hung on that cross.
