I am truly amazed at what God/Jesus went through just so I could be part of His family. He was so passionate about wanting a relationship with me that he endured the cross.
My church I attend puts on The Lexington Passion Play and has done so for several years. I have had the privilege of being part for the past 3 years and again this year. The story we tell is always the same. Christ Jesus came to this earth and he submitted himself to the cross to pay the price for our sins. Having completed the payment, Christ rose again and offers us the chance to believe in him and receive eternal life. Praise the Lord, I believe and am now a joint heir with Christ. The participants in the play have been presenting the play since last week, we have 5 more performances. Five more opportunities to visually depict the gospel. When we went through our first full rehearsal, I wept like a baby and was hit with the awesome thing Christ did for me.
Having grown up in the church, I have read and heard the story hundreds of times. I cannot explain why this particular moment, at the dress rehearsal I was weighed down with the largeness of this action. Praise the Lord!! He rose again.
I hope that you enjoy this holiday season and that God blesses you greatly. May his act of love on the cross be real to you each and every day. May the glory be His and His alone.
