My team and I decided to start reading the bible and we are planning to read the whole bible in 4 months. We started this new adventures on January 1st and so far we have read through Joshua. What God has been teaching me through it is so simple...I praise God that he sent his son to die for ME and for YOU on the cross. Reading all of the laws in Exodus and Leviticus was awful and I can write these things becaue the Lord knows my heart and we have talked about it already so no worries. But honestly the laws and rules I just could not have lived under them. So many, so long, so maticulus (<---first shot at using a big word). I praised God daily for sending his son to die on the cross for me so that we do not have to live by those laws anymore. The laws of religion no longer apply in that same way to us because when Jesus died that vail was tworn.
Then that got me thinking about Jesus dieing and how in Matthew 27:46 Jesus says
"My God, My God why have you forsaken me?" Jesus held all of the sins of the world on his shoulder's and God his father for a moment could not look at him because of this. That breaks my heart. My main point for this blog is just to get you and myself to be thinking...God could not look at his one and only son who was holy and righteous and perfect because he had all of OUR sins on him. Not one sin that he died for belonged to him, he was forsaken for us. He could not be looked at by his father for US.
That is such heavy stuff for me, in my worldly mindset it doesn't make sense and it seems so unfair but it makes me even more thankful for the death of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The price he paid was beyond anything we can imagine.
Thank you God for sending your son to die for us even though we do not quite understand. Father you are so good to us all even when we run from you. I give you all praise through all things...you are so so so good to me. Thank you....~AMEN.
God Bless You All...
P.S. "Jesus would do it again if his father asked him too, and he would do it again just for YOU"
