Nothing can quite explain it.

As I lay here and watch "The Passion of The Christ," I can't help but shed a tear for each whip and blow he receives, I can't imagine what he went through and never will be able to. I could never fathom the pain and suffering that he went through. And he asked for NOTHING in return. As I sit here on my bed.... it hits me.... he did this for me. He was beaten beyond recognition, he was tortured and mocked, he was wrongfully accused, and yet he went forth, knowing fully well what was ahead.

It says in Philippians 2:14 "Do everything without complaining or arguing" and there is not a better model of this verse then Jesus. He died on that cross and went through unimaginable pain just for me, and he loves ME more than anything, yet he also loves YOU! more than you can imagine. Which then leaves me back where I started. I can't just sit and not cry, I see him as he is dying, praying for those who are persecuting, and I can't even bring myself to forgive my brother at times.

But not only did Jesus suffer, he did the impossible and ROSE AGAIN!!!!! He IS risen and there is no doubt about it. So as I sit, and cry, and reflect, I know that I am living for a God that is ALIVE not dead.

Thank you God, for being such a loving caring God, thank you for dying on that cross and forgiving me for ALL of my sins that I have, am or will commit. Nothing compares to what you did, and nothing can quite explain it.
