What would it have been like to watch the agony of Jesus being tortured and executed? Imagine the pain and brutality He experienced, all to be the sacrificial lamb promised throughout the Scriptures. I grumble and complain about the most petty and trivial, compared to our Lord. His love, His life, His sacrifice to be one of us, humbles us to be silent and worship Him. In light of the cross, Spurgeon once said, “If you aren’t hunble, you should be!”
“ Never for a moment forget that the most precious truth of all time and eternity is that there is a Redeemer.” - Diane Langberg
“The man who articulates the movements of his inner life, who can give names to his varied experiences, need no longer be a victim of himself, but is able slowly and consistently to remove the obstacles that prevent the spirit from entering. He is able to create space for Him who heart is greater than his, whose eyes see more than his, and whose hands can heal more than his.” - Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Wounded Healer
“I want more fear and trembling in my life as I consider the incomprehensible power that works within me (Philippians 2:13). I want for the mystery of “Christ in you” to really strike me as “the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27) and not just a bit of mysticism thrown into a faith that functions just fine without it. So I guess I should make sure I’m not settling for a mere rescue.
Life is profoundly holy if we let it be. So let’s let it be.” - Jon Hyatt
