“Son-set”

Easter is my favorite time of the year (yes, over Christmas and my birthday). Why? Because of the choice that one Man made for the good of all. Jesus chose to take that long walk to the cross for me…for you. I can not understand that kind of sacrifice. If given the choice to save someone’s life, by giving up my own…would I do it? For my mother? My brother? My best friend? Honestly, I don’t know. I want to believe that I would. I would hope that I had that kind of selflessness in me. However, would I die for people who lied about me? For a murder? A child abuser? An adulterer?  Most definitely, NOT. That’s why this is my favorite time of year. Jesus did not discriminate. Everyone is equal at the foot of the cross. We ALL have the SAME access (whether we are good or not so good).

I know that not everyone who reads this post shares the same belief that I do. My goal is not to make you like me, however my prayer is that you seek the truth for yourself.  Not society’s truth, or our own “personal” truth, but the REAL TRUTH. God is not hiding from you. The cross gave us all access (we just have to ask). Just like Jesus, we all have a choice…to believe or not to believe. But no matter what your persuasion, God loves you. Happy Good Friday.

So what am I thankful for today? For the choice Jesus made.
