What a plan that the Father God devised to save
mankind for all throughout eternity! That He would
send His only son to die on a cruel cross still amazes
me even after 43 years of walking with Him.
God bless.
The Suffering That HE Bore
We will never fully understand
the depth of the suffering that Jesus bore on Calvary
nor the pain of separation from His Father
during the prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane.
This Savior, the Son of God
what a tremendous love for man He has shown
yet we can only scratch the mere surface of that love
no matter how much in Him we have grown.
How can mortal man understand
fully the way that our God truly does think
His infinite wisdom and understanding exemplifies as He grapples
in the universe’s problems while we only have time to blink.
When the Lord Jesus left Heaven for us and came
down to the level of man
it was similar to an earthly King leaving his palace
to take up residence in a large garbage can.
Now what about His honor and authority
as HE had angels snap to attention at His command
while in contrast His earthly creation laughing and jeering at Him
and at times striking Him with the back of their hands.
He came and did His best for His created mankind
and for mere mortal man to see
our Creator God Who had come down to our level
conversing and teaching about a hard heart of which He would plead.
Oh I know at times my own ignorance of His ways
has made Him at times with me wroth
it was a lack of knowledge on my part yet He patiently
endured until I could see how much for Him it did cost.
My dear people this blessed Savior
was asked by His Father to suffer this way for you and for me
so we could receive Him and His precious Redemption plan
and thereby live with Him all through eternity.
