Thankful

This Good Friday I am thankful that Jesus was willing to come to this wretched, awful earth and live among us sinful, evil humans. The ones he loved and created mocked him, hated him, and killed him. He was willing to give up his own will to his Father's even when that led to a cross and death. He has given us everything; he even died that we might live if we only accept his free gift of grace - the forgiveness of every one of our sins. He makes us clean and perfect. Something we can never be otherwise no matter how hard we work or how many good things we plan to do for him. I pray that you know this love that he offers to each one of us. And that you can celebrate this Easter season remembering just how much he has done for us. How humbling to think that the Lord and Creator of all cares so deeply for me and you.
