My Thoughts on Easter Weekend

So, I usually like to think that I know all the answers on things and if I don't then try to garner as much information. Well, I can say now that I have spent all 20 years (and some change) in my life trying to figure out why Christ came to this Earth, lived 30 something years, and then died on a cross. A lot of people I know look at it and go, "ya ya ya, a guy died for sins and that's it, big deal!" Well, it is a BIG DEAL!

To put it into a nice mental picture what Jesus did for us, think about this. Christ came down to Earth and laid the world's sins on Himself and felt the full wrath of God so we did not have to. I really don't think people realize what God's wrath does or how powerful it is. A lot of people try to "lowball" God and think that his wrath is not that bad. Well, let me put it in clear words: God who breathed out life and light for the world and everything around us has so much power we cannot BEGIN to understand it all.

Now, to make another mental picture for what Christ did, check this out...say you have the chance to become a maggot. You'd be a maggot and live with them, eat with them, and then eventually die for them. Now, would you want to become a maggot for all the other maggots, and then die for them? Well, Christ was perfect and without blame, but He chose to come this world and become a maggot and die for us. So, starting to be a little clearer?

I'm not one who knows all the answers, and will tell you in a heart beat I don't. I do know that the only way we can get the answers is to pray and let God tell us. I know it's something that is mind blowing but I can tell you from personal experience, God takes care of you. It's something that the world may not suggest but let God pour into your heart and begin to see how much He gave to this world when He gave His only son to die for us. I hope we can all let that sink in this Easter weekend. This is something that I think we should all look at and let it wash over us
