Thought of the Week for March 23rd thru 29th...

Obviously, this week we will focus on the celebration of Easter as it is because of this event in the past that we are able to have the future that we do. It is amazing to think about it really! God manifest in the flesh bore the sins of all humanity for the chance that you and I would choose to follow Him. He loves you and I that much that He was willing to go through all of the humiliation, the suffering, and the shame of that fateful day for the mere possibility that you would choose to love Him. There was and is no guarantee that any of us would pick up our cross and follow Him, but that did not stop Him from making the ultimate sacrifice to reclaim and to renew the relationship that we willingly relinquished. Think about this...If He knew that you were going to be the only person who would chose to give their life to Him, if He knew that your one soul was the only reward for all that He went through, if He knew that you were going to the one person to escape the torture and torment of an eternity spent in hell, He would have still had a reason to go to endure the beatings, to go to the cross, and die for your sins...Now that's an amazing love!
