Sole Sinner

Half an hour more and Good Friday would be over

But in this last few minutes I still wanna ponder

On the day that my Jesus laid down his life for me

That day that changes all of history including the life of me

Every week towards the coming Easter

I learn something different

This year I keep hearing the phrase

"Even if you were the only person on earth,

Jesus would still have died for you".

Think about it

My sinful nature

Sinning in the dark

In my own thoughts

In my mindless actions

Hurtful words

Done whether subconsciously or consciously

Nothing in comparison to God's purity

Yet He'd still send His only son to die for a sole sinner

Writing this down

My heart beats faster

It seems so literal it scares me

I a sinner

Him totally sinless

The sum is not comprehensible and would not equate

Yet "I + God = "

Would Jesus really go through the suffering

The beatings and torture

The pain of his flesh being ripped out for me

The crown of thorns pressed into his forehead

Being spat on and slashed at

To the point where he didn't look human

It.Is.Scary.

But he still went through it

A normal human being no less

Asked God to take away his cup

Poured out in prayer in his last few hours

Hoping that maybe there would be an alternative

But there wasn't

And it was done.

I don't have to question whether I'm worthy of his love

The sacrifice my father in heaven paid for me

Because He saw me worthy

Not in my own strength but by His grace

I shall not remember this only on Good Fridays

But everyday of my life I shall remain grateful

Humbled and filled with awe and adoration

To my Father who've sent His son on Earth

To pay that painful price for me

On that cross I'm sure He thought of me

And I believe He was thinking of you

John 19:30

"It is finished."

Our sins are all taken

Fully paid by his blood

You are made worthy to be loved and to be called His Precious

Embrace it

Live it

Share it

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
