The Cross

The face that Moses had begged to see- was forbidden to see- was slapped bloody.*exodus 33:19-20* The thorns that God had sent to curse the earth's rebillion now twisted around his own brow....
"on your back with you!" One raises a mallet to sink in the soikes. But the soldier's heart must continue pumping as he readies the prisoner's wrist. Someone must sustain the soldier's life minute by minute, for no man has this power on his own. Who supplies breath to his lungs? Who gives energy to his cells? Who holds his molecules together? Only by the Son do "all things hold together"(Colossians 1:17) The victim wills that the soldiers live on- he grants the warriors continued existence.
The man swings......
As the man swings, the Son recalls how He and The Father first designed the medial nerve of the human forearm- the sensation it would be capable of. The design proves flawless- the nerves perform exquisitely. "Up you Go!!" They lifted the cross. God is on display in his underwear and can sarcely breathe.
But this pain are a mere warm-ip to another growing dread....Human wickedness starts to crawl upon his spotless being- the living excrement from our souls. The apple of the Father's eye turns brown with rot!

*His Father! He must face His Father like this?!*

"Son of Man! why have you behaved so? You have cheated, lusted, stolen, gossiped-murdered,envied, hated, lied, cursed, robbed, overspent, overeaten- fornicated, disobeyed, embezzled and blasphemed. The duties you have shirked, the chidren you have abandoned! Ignoring the poor, so played the coward, so belittled my name? Demon worshipper, backstabbers, rapist, prostitution, slave traders......I hate , loathe these things in you! Disgust for everything about you consumes me! Can you not feel my warth?!"

Of course the Son is innocent. He is blameless itself. The father knows this. But the divine pair have an agreement, and the unthinkable must now take place. jesus will be treated as if personally responsible fort every sin ever committed
The father watches as his heart's treasure, the mirror image of himself, sinks drowing into raw, liquid sin. Jehovah's stored rages against mankind from every century explodes in a single direction.

"Father! Father! Why have you forsaken me?!"

But heavne stops its ears, The son stares up at the One who cannot, who will not, reach down or reply..the was planned...this very curcifixion...
Jesus the God-man from Nazareth, perished. The father accepted his sacrifice fro sin and was satisfied. The Rescue was accomplished...

this was a scene from the book "when God weeps" by steven estes and joni eareckson...
Incase of anything, i'm not trying to make this my own but i'm just taking it...because it touches my heart as i read it the second time...this was how Jesus had to endure the sins of the world, past present and future sins...and God the father had to turn his face away...

If you're going thru a bad time and thinkin how could s God, the God of the universe would every care about little beings like me, think again...If you think that "when God created man, and that was the first ever mistake he made" Think again....it was no mistake, it was a risk He was willing to take...

ALL FOR LOVE
