Passion

First off, look below this blog... You will notice that it is 6:30am. Let me just say that I don't think us humans were supposed to be up this early. The sun isn't even out yet. I have a meeting at work this morning. I guess I just don't want to be there. Anyways that is why I am up. It also probably didn't help that I didn't go to bed til midnight last night. I stayed up and watched Mel Gibson's the Passion of the Christ.

This movie, if you haven't already seen it, shows the last three days of Jesus' life before the ressurection. It is detailed. I feel that it is a good reminder of what our Jesus went through for us... but the one thing we HAVE to understand is that Jesus didn't die a painful death because they made him, He GAVE UP his life, they didn't take his life. He knew the pain, he knew the hurt. And because He did that, we can come to him anytime for any reason, we can have a relationship. We can pray with out going to the altar. We can go to Him. That is truly what Easter is about... Because God sent his son to die on the cross and raise up as the perfect sacrifice now can have everlasting life. AMAZING.

Can't wait to celebrate this with you on Sunday. We still have some space. Let me know if you can come. 9:30am (thank Jesus it isn't 6:30am) in my living room. See you then.
ONLY GOD.
