The Rest of the Story....

3/6/2018

Last week a few friends and I were discussing how often we have judged or misjudged people and how frustrated we were with ourselves for doing so. Each of us gave examples of people we had judged according to their skin color, cultural differences, their appearance or even their weight. We recognized that by being so critical of people we were not being good examples of Christianity. I believe that most of us have been guilty of unkind thoughts and comparisons of “those people.” You know who they are right? To judge anyone who does fit what we deem to be “normal” or in other words, like us. Our group agreed that we were going to work very intentionally to change the way we see people, to look at them through a lens of love and respect and not of judgment.

Temptation X 3...

We have just journeyed our way through the 40 days of Lent and finished with Holy Week in which humanity was brought to its knees or should I say to the cross. As a Christian, I believe that God came to earth, as the man Jesus, became fully human and yet remained fully Divine. Sometimes, we don’t want to dwell too long on the pain and the tragedy of the cross and instead focus on Easter morning and the resurrection. We are told that Jesus took all of the evil and pain from us and paid our debt with his life. What does that mean? Through his Son Jesus, did God really know all of the pain and suffering like fear, anxiety, depression and doubt that we feel when he took all the sins of the world to the cross and was crucified for our sake? He was God’s Son so what proof might there be that Jesus did suffer like us or was tested like us? I think Gospel of Matthew; Chapter 4 will show us the way.

"When I Survey The Wondrous Cross" by Isaac Watts

When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of Glory died;
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.

See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were an offering far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.
