We are reading Search For Significance and had a discussion about it tonight. Here is the quote that started some cool thoughts "Only if we understand the horror of coming under the wrath of a holy God for our sins will we appreciate what Christ did on the cross. Every day our minds should be overwhelmed by thankfulness for what He did on our behalf."
I never really spent much time thinking on this subject. Jesus who was perfect took on all the sins of the world, past, present, and future. He didn't just take mine and yours, He took everyones, all the billions and billions of people that ever lived and ever will live! And on top of that God can't stand sin, so imagine how He was feeling when His Son who knew no sin became the sin of the world... And when the soldier stabbed His side blood and water flowed out. Bonnie said that she has herd doctors say that is the sign of a massive heart attack, which means the heart explodes. Our sins busted Jesus' heart, literally!....
I am pretty amazed right now. After hearing that how can I not thank and worship my AMAZING God!
On a side note, I forgot to give you my mailing address yesterday when I posted, so here it is. It is always fun to get mail. :)
