Thoughts on the Cross

"Perfection cannot be measured with a single glance. It has to be touched, to be felt. In the same way, one cannot merely glance at Yeshua (Jesus) for His Glory, His perfection outshines the sun. Can one look at the sun without being overwhelmed? NO! Therefore, when one looks to the LORD, one must expect to be dazzled, to be taken on a journey to the highest heavens. One must expect to weep with joy, to be overcome, when one sees the LORD for the first time.

Is that not how you felt when you were saved? You saw the LORD, your Messiah, the Son of God, for the first time with clear eyes, and you were overwhelmed. You throw off your rose tinted lenses, and danced in His presence. When one can see so clearly why would one want to lose that vision, that precious gift of sight? One can finally see without looking through the world’s lenses first. Wouldn't one want to tell everyone to throw off their chains and accept the redemption, the freedom, that comes with acknowledging, with accepting, Yeshua as Saviour and Lord."

I wrote this a couple of nights ago. Just reflecting on the MASSIVE sacrifice Jesus made on that cross. I mean, what sensible man would die for my sins, let alone the sins of the whole world? One of my favourite songs at the moment is Circle by Flyleaf  And it goes:

“No man shows greater love

Than when a man
Lays down his life

For his beloved.”

It just demonstrates what happened on the cross, 2,000 years, or so, ago. 

The perfect love was shed for us.
