We need to understand the horror of that sinful nature before we can begin to understand the wonder of redemption. Both can come from the crucifixtion. Such wonder from such horror. We have certainly remembered. <BR/><BR/>Yet through all the suffering He still redeems us. He removes our suffering and allows us contact with Him. Not only that He eliminates the separation from the Father! He provides what we cannot and conquers our earthly nature. I have faith that He suffered, died and returned for me and that gives Hope!<BR/><BR/>So says MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630415750727038265.post-66953070101972211222009-04-07T11:29:00.000-05:002009-04-07T11:29:00.000-05:00Wonderful post.One of the things I think we as bel...Wonderful post.<BR/>One of the things I think we as believers and clergy do is color coat the cross. We don't really show the agony of the death of Christ. We wear the crosses around our next without even givening thought to what he went though. It is sad. It is my prayer and hope that this easter that we will remember the pain and agony that he went through. I think when we understand the agony the resurrection is that much more meaningful to us as believers. Thank you for this post brother. It is so important during this week. I hope you and your family have a great Easter!preachermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922837614859997243noreply@blogger.com
