They Crucified Our Lord
I want to type, to write my amazing love for my Savior Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for me to the whole world. Yet I cannot find the words to share this truly personal connection I have made with my Savior. Gethsemane, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection; all of His life and His gift was for me. For my sins. Not only did He feel my pains, sins, and temptations on a very personal basis, He did the same for everyone. He has been where I was, where I have been, where I am now, and knows everything that I have been feeling, every temptation I have come across, withstood, and even succumbed to. They whipped and scourged Him, pierced His head with a crown of thorns, and then mocked Him and spat upon Him. But He suffered in silence, keeping His peace and knowing that He was doing this for me. And for you. Still on the cross He appealed to the Father for their forgiveness. Then He rose again, that He may conquer death for us. Even in our darkest hours, He is waiting for us to return so He can also appeal to our Father in our behalf, to forgive us and return His Spirit to us with peace, comfort, and yes, even love. While I still do not understand this love and this gift completely, I am grateful for Him, and for His sacrifice in ways that words cannot express. Indeed He has rescued me once more.
