Everything Jesus did while on this earth led up to His heart being broken for me. There came a point in the story that He realized that our fate was hanging in the balance. He died because my sin and your sin separated Him from His Father.... that's why the Garden of Gethsemane was so painful for Him and there was no pain from the nails compared with the terrible feeling of being separated from
God. That killed Him. But He was willing to go through with it because He couldn't stand the thought of forever living without us. It's no wonder that it is recommended that we spend a "thoughtly hour contemplating the life of Christ each day." EJW It really causes me to thank Jesus much more, from my heart, for the chance to live for His glory. Evenmore, it brings to my mind the times that I feel like I am suffering, but there's no comparison. "Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain. He washed it white as snow." Lately I have been noticing how out of focus my spiritual glasses have been. It's a good thing that Jesus has healed these types of problems before. He has been opening the eyes of my blind heart to see what really matters. Him. It's all about Jesus.

To be an echo of Calvary
Thanks for sharing Melanie.
true. opps
One look at the cross and I realize how selfish I really am. I appreciate your reminder.
Wow, Melanie, thank you for your thoughts. If only we each took more time to reflect for ourselves on the sacrifice of Calvary!
Praise God for the reminder... I need it still, fresh in me today
It was for us. What a thought! Yet we can never comprehend it until we see Jesus. We enjoyed so much seeing the Passion Play with you Melanie. It was a real blessing. Love you,
Dad and Mother
IT meant a lot that you came with me Mom and Dad. I love you!
