How can it be that You my King would die for me?

It's hard to describe how I'm feeling right now. Awe. Complete and utter awe. Today is the day Christ was crucified. Left by everyone, even his Father, Jesus went to face the cross and our sin by himself. This love that was bled out on the cross is... more than amazing. There is not a word in the English language that can convey how unbelievable this is. And it is lavished upon us by our God. One of my favorite lyrics is 


"Amazing love, how can it be that you, my King, would die for me?" 


I always think about Esther. I don't know why, but I do. I also try to imagine a king, who back then was so revered and honored, sacrificing himself for ME. Little, old, worthless me. But this is MORE than that. This is the King of Kings. This is the Holy One, the Father, the great I Am, the Jehovah, the Savior, the Son of God, the Worthy Lamb. He who had no sin became sin to save us. He who did nothing but love us, was killed by his own people. He did it with love. 


If you haven't seen The Passion of the Christ, today is the day to watch it. It will open your eyes. It will change your heart. It will reveal to you a small portion of the King's great love for you. Jesus, you are my Great Love. It's my joy to honor you. 


With all of my love to the King who saved me. 


Yours truly,
