Every year at Lent and during Easter God always puts something before me that hits really hard. In the past, one year it was the empty, loneliness that Jesus felt,the tears...crying out for His Father.....or the actual physical pain that Jesus went through, the beating, the crown of thorns, carrying the cross. One year I felt so strongly for Mary as a mother watching her son go through the pain and Hurt and how much you would want to take that from your son.
This year the betrayal of his followers and the unbelief of the people..... When Judas was betraying Jesus with a kiss, his followers became angry and Peter struck the servant of the high Priest with his sword and cut off his ear. Jesus did not let it go at that...He did not want revenge......He said...No more of this and touched the ear of the servant and Healed Him. God was still thinking of others and not of himself. Now don't you think if you saw someone heal the ear that was just cut off you would believe that this man truly was someone special? They continued on with the arrest.......
How often do we fail to see what Jesus has done for us? How often do we go through Easter as just another Holiday and not truly examine how we betray Him everyday.
Yes we fail, we are human, but we need to remember that Christ can use those who recognize their failures.
Jesus thank you for never giving up on us.
Thank you for the Cross.

Brenda - how true! We don't fully recognize just what Jesus did (and still does) for us by his death on the cross . His continual forgiveness of all of us,, when we don't realize WHO HE IS and WHAT HE'S DONE ! He loves and forgive - always!
Thank you Lord Jesus - and thank you Brenda for the reminders of Who Jesus IS in your life!
I love ya!
