in rememberance

For those who don't know this week is Holy week. Today is Good Friday. This is the day that my Lord and Savior died at Calvary on a cross. This is a week of rememberance of what happened so long ago.

Yesterday I went to see the Passion play at Felician College with my mom. It was amazing. Each song ministered to me in a different way and this past weekend my church had their own Easter musical, Amazing Love. Through these plays God has shown me over and over again exactly what He did for me.

What is truly amazing is how something that happened so long ago is still making such a tremendous impact on lives in the present day. Jesus died for the death that I deserved. He was the spotless lamb that would be sacrificed for the sin of all. The "sin of all" doesn't even sound as big as it really is. All sin. He died for the sin of the past, present, and future. If you ask me that is some pretty serious stuff. When God does something He goes all out.

God knew from the very beginning that we would need a Savior and that a price would be paid. I can rest assured that God doesn't look for easy fix-its, but He sees everything through. Everything is to God's best and God's best is the best.

As I remember what Jesus Christ did, I feel humbled to know that God remembers me. He knows exactly where I'm at and where I'm going. He knows me like the back of His hand. He knows me better than I know myself.

God is great. He's massive. It's strange to think of why He even cares about me? Why does He care about you? Do you know? I mean when someone comes up to you on the subway and tells you, "Jesus loves you," do you really think about what that stranger just said? Jesus loves me. He loves you. 

He is holy, set apart. If God was some merciless, cruel God He would have stayed set apart. But He didn't. He wanted that relationship with us. He did what He had to do so that we could be in His presence. If the wars, power struggles, and greed didn't tell you I will. The human race isn't all that and a bag of chips. Yet, God wants to spend eternity with us. As someone told me, "God loves you so much He would rather die than not be with you."

So do you know this God who knows you so well? Do you know of His love? Do you want to? He suffered so that you wouldn't. His love. That is what Good Friday is about. Love.

If you want to know more or have questions about this God that loves you so much message me or leave a comment. I'd love to talk. God bless you and do everything in rememberance of him.
