Sacrificial Love

They wanted to kill Him. They wanted to crucify Him.
So He was crucified. And, He was killed.
He did nothing wrong.
Sin was the reason. Our sin. Our sin was laid upon Him.
He took it from us.
God sent His only Son.
It was voluntary. Jesus chose to die on the cross.
Jesus chose to come to earth. And take away our sins.
All for one reason. One. To bridge the gap between me and my Father.
To bridge the gap between you and God.
He has paid the penalty.
He has taken it from us.
So we might live. We might have eternal life.
So we could be with Him. In His presence.
What pain He bore. Pain we will never understand.
Only God His Father understood.
Why the cross? Why death?
For life.
His sacrificial love for us.
Love is a sacrifice.
There is no other way.
Even until that day, it was still difficult for Jesus.
He practiced.
He prepared.
For this day.
Yet, it was still difficult.
"Is there any other way, Father?"
It was the only way.
He died. But He rose. He is risen.
Not just that day.
But He still lives today.
In our souls, in our hearts.
In US.
He lives.
Ask Him to live in you.
What a sacrifice Jesus chose. What a sacrifice God gave up.
His child.
For now, death is conquered.
Darkness is overcome.
And Satan is beaten.
Run to Jesus.
Let Him hold you in His loving arms.
