God is Love
Good Friday is all about this love, and the empty tomb confirms it.
As scripture teaches us, God demonstrated His love for us while we were still sinners when Christ died for us all. Without that, we would be dead in our sins forever.
The moment I came to realize that, those wonders took hold of me. When I ponder His great love, my mind is stretched beyond its limit.
The words in the hymn, “Beneath the Cross of Jesus” come close to describing what I feel. I relate to, “mine eyes at times can see, The very dying form of One, Who suffered there for me.”
The quick gesture drawing above is more than just a simple scribble or vague image of the Crucifixion. It is a moment in time. This moment is when Christ paid the price, but it could also speak of the moment I first believed.
What the drawing doesn’t depict is the dying thief next to Jesus when he discovers who Jesus is and how much Jesus loves him. At this moment the criminal’s heart must have been smitten.
We all, in a way, are like the thief on the cross when we have our moment of knowing Jesus.
Have you had your moment?
If you haven’t, you’re on a need-to-know basis that your moment can happen when you confess your sins, repent, and trust Jesus as your Savior and Lord.
Isn’t it good to know what we need-to-know, and who we need-to-know, in order to fully receive the Love of God?
If you have had this “moment,” please share it with others. They’re on a need-to-know basis too.
The wonders of
His glorious love
and my unworthiness.
