The other day while raking leaves I couldn't help but thinking about how Jesus felt towards mankind that he would give his life and let himself go through the suffering and agonizing torture that he endured on this day 2000 years ago.
The other day while raking leaves I couldn't help but thinking about how Jesus felt towards mankind that he would give his life and let himself go through the suffering and agonizing torture that he endured on this day 2000 years ago.
I wanted somehow to understand how one person can have that depth of love for others so I tried to create a scenario in my head to maybe have somewhat of a comparison.
I raked the leaves unto this big tarp and then dragged them back into the woods and as I was tugging the pile of leaves behind me, I imagined it was a heavy wooden cross that I dragged and while doing this I thought about people that I dearly loved that might perish if I didn't sacrifice my life on this day. My family , My son and my grandson . Suddenly I understood and I cried.
Now I live for you my dear Lord.
Have a good Friday
