“They will look on the One they have pierced.”
John 19:37
So what about it…
When have you looked on the One that was pierced?
The man Jesus, hanging from the tree. There are no words.
God have mercy.
Look with me now.
Look and see the weight of our sin…
Our part in His terrible suffering.
God have mercy.
Look… And know what you’ve been saved from.
Don’t you know that we were all creatures born unto death.
Human wrecking balls, unable but to destroy everything we touched.
Yes look… Knowing what we’ve been saved from.
Look again… Look again and this time let’s dare not miss the depth of our Savior’s Love.
Look and know that you mean so much to Him that He would submit to all this… For you.
Lets look once more if we can bear it…
Look on the One pierced for us…
Look, and receive our forgiveness…
And with it, His Life.
Yes, look and see the hope in His eyes as He offers us Life again…
Life the way you and I were always meant to live it!
Pray with me now, won’t you…
Jesus we receive Your forgiveness, Your Love and Your Life.
Now in all this Jesus, live Your Life today…
In us… Even through us.
Amen.
“I have been crucified with Christ…”
Galatians 2:20
