I would like to
share a post I read on facebook by Christian Erickson..it's such a wonderful and
meaningful description of what God did in Christ on the cross, and of what God
proved to us through that cross! Thank You Father for Your amazing
love!
"Today we celebrate that
almost two thousand years ago, God Himself proved that He would rather be killed
than kill.
He would rather be put on a cross and murdered by His own
creation than hold our sins against us. We killed God! And yet, in the greatest
display of divine love the world has ever seen, God looked down on His creation
stuck in darkness and spoke forgiveness to us
through the blood flowing from His broken body.
When humanity committed
the worst sin possible (the killing of our creator), God looked down and forgave
us. How much more does He forgive us of everything else?
The cross proves
that God is dying for us to know that we are accepted. The cross proves that God
bleeds forgiveness and love. The cross proves that He never is going to turn His
back on us no matter how much we turn our back on Him.
Truly, God was in
Christ reconciling the whole cosmos to Himself, not counting our sins against
us."
