It might be easy to look at the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion and be shocked and disappointed about the betrayal by those who had a role in this agonizing and heartbreaking moment as it unfolded.
How could they?
How could God?
Jesus’ disciples, friends, and family had a front row seat. I can’t imagine watching it all. It’s easy to point an incredulous finger and have a look of disgust. But I have to remember that even though this took place before I drew my first breath, God’s plan was laid out…
…for me and my rebellion…
….for you and yours…
It’s personal.
God’s love came down and took our sins on as His own.
God provides all that we cannot: love, mercy, grace, forgiveness, and salvation.
