The lamb that was slain.

I don't think I've ever had so much on my mind to think about in one weekend. Friday night I was and a couple of friends from IV saw the passion of the christ movie at hofstra. I can definitely say many were touched or affected in some way. I came back and read chapters from the gospels that dealt with Jesus' struggle, the torture and torment he went through.

And this was all for us! He was beaten for us. He was humiliated and spat upon for us. He was mad fun of for us. Yes, the high and majestic King chose to be put into the hands of insignificant, sadistic, cruel, heart-less people such as ourselves because he loves us!

Wow!

"Praise to the lamb that was slain, and praise to the father who gave his son away."

This is the ultimate proof of God's love. Grace and mercy shown at the cross.

Oh what a God we serve.
