An email I received that I would like to share with you all
Dear Friends,
No. I'm not going to give you a piece of my mind, although that subject suggests so!
Just to sum up on some thoughts that have been mine over the past few weeks....
It's just...I've been wondering...during this Easter season that has just passed, how many of us actually think truly about the true meaning of Easter? It just keeps going on in my mind, how did Christ do it, that He really gave His life for us on that cross? Why, that was a terrible, cruel, awful death. When I was a little one, my dad would read my brother and me a couple of stories from a picture children's Bible every night. Whenever we came to the part where it talked about Jesus' trial and death, I'd always beg for us to skip it. It was too awful to read. Even now, I get shivers when I read, think, and picture it. How terrible to hang nailed to a cross, with hundreds of people jeering at you and mocking you, and knowing that its for THOSE people that you are dying! And yet, maybe the fact that He knew that, gave Him strength... Yet he cried "My God, my God! Why have You forsaken me?!". Interesting, did God really forsake His Son just then? If He did, then why THEN, just when He was needed the most?! And how could've all those people not believe on Him? Now we question it, but I wonder, if I was there, would I have believed on Him? Actually, to tell the truth, I strongly doubt it. Many times, even when God's answers to prayer are obvious, I still don't believe on Him as I should. And I have proofs everywhere. Healing, miracles, answers to prayer, and everything! But how one could've resisted God after seeing His Son die for us, and then come to life again, is beyond me...
I trust and pray that the full message of Easter will be encouraging to you...is there anybody out there whose thought have gone that way too?!
Bedtime, so see some tomorrow, and some here or there, or in the air!
Love and blessings, ANON
Thought provoking?
Be blessed. Comments welcomed. Antony
