This afternoon I watched the "Passion of the Christ" again after seeing it 3 years ago. It seemed like the right moment to watch the movie again as heart wrenching as it is. My cheeks are stained with salty tears, my heart still deep with emotions.
What a feeling that must have been for the disciples to see Christ died as He told them at the passover. To take the bread and wine in remembrance of Him before knowing how broken He would become and that death was part of God's plan.
He suffered intense pain for US! We are forgiven in Him always and forever. God sacrificed His only flesh and blood to show us His eternal love. How free are we?
More free then we can ever understand with our human minds. Christ in us, the hope of glory! Forgiven of every sin and loved beyond our wildest imaginations.
Papa, thank you.
Do you want to see the real me?
Follow me through the cemetery.
Hear my laboured breathing
and the sounds of my feet plodding along.
Watch me turn and tilt my head,
and soak in the warm sun.
See the tears leak out my eyes
and wet my cheeks.
Hear me uttering words
and singing praise songs.
Watch me kneel on the ground
with my hands raised.
See the smile on my face
as I surrender yet again.
Keep following me and you will see Him.
Bright as the sun and mysterious as the wind.
