More on Jesus’ agonizing suffering to redeem us..

The amount of horror for Jesus in his crucifixion was immeasurably immense. It is an infinite suffering borne by an infinite heart of love under an infinite wrath. And it brought about an infinite solution for us finite beings.

Only a God who is Love could do this. Only Jesus could be our Savior, both God and man, willing to go through such suffering, which is beyond the comprehension of even the angels who live in the presence of God. And He did this to save us, we who are lower than angels, sin-warped rebels viciously fighting against Him, rejecting His way and serving Satan and self.  But now He has given us the possibility of becoming His children. Hallelujah!

Let us stand in ever-growing awe at the amazing, unbelievable, contra-conditional and compassionate sacrifice made by the Living God to save us, who are by nature captives of death, of the devil and of destruction and darkness. May this awe transform our mind, will and emotions so that we thirst deeply after God and spend time with Him every day.

Prayer: “Lord Jesus, forgive me for trivializing your immense sacrifice to redeem us, your evil enemies. I praise you for your great love, your deep commitment, your incomprehensible grace. Help me to live in the light of your love and to love you back in consistent obedience. May your light shine out of my life today, bringing you ever-increasing glory. Amen.
