IT happened again.
I didn't see it coming.
IT came right at my heart.
And IT hurt.
But IT not only hurt me,
but IT hurt GOD.
For when
GOD'S children get hurt, GOD hurts.
And GOD knows hurt first hand
because
HIS SON felt HURT like no other.
JESUS was
DESPISED
REJECTED
SUFFERED
OPPRESSED
AFFLICTED CRUSHED
NAILED
(Isaiah 53).
Let that sink in.
Now just because HE was JESUS,
doesn't mean
JESUS didn't HURT.
JESUS was made man,
to walk this earth
like every other human whom was created.
Therefore,
JESUS HURT.
BUT no one
deserves to
DIE like JESUS did.
Well others did deserve to
DIE
like JESUS did,
but JESUS was NOT GUILTY
or was HE?
"CHRIST never sinned but GOD put our sin on HIM.
Then we are made right with GOD because of what
CHRIST has done for us"
(2 Corinthians 5:21).
JESUS carried all our SINS.
And SIN has to be killed.
For it was GOD'S WILL for JESUS~
"Yet it was the LORD'S will to crush HIM and cause HIM to suffer" (Isaiah 53:10).
Yikes,
GOD'S WILL WILL BE DONE.
GOD OPENED
the DOOR for
JESUS to DIE
because
it is
GOD'S WILL
"that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"
(2 Peter 3:9).
Oh the sweet spot of
REPENTANCE.
To walk through the
OPEN DOOR of GRACE
because JESUS walked
from the cradle to the CROSS.
The GIFT OF GRACE
that
JESUS did not RECEIVE
so that everyone else could.
JESUS HURT.
I am getting all Christian-ese this morning,
because when I feel my hurt
and then look at the CROSS,
where the ultimate HURT HAPPENED,
I then take my HURT
and walk up to my JESUS
and lay it down at HIS feet.
JESUS HURT FIRST
because
JESUS LOVED FIRST.
Oh how my HURT pales to the
HURT JESUS
had to bear,
because
JESUS takes my HURT
and JESUS takes your HURT
and
not only HURTS with you,
but does
what no on other human being
or no other thing
can ever do
"JESUS LOVES YOU"
