Deep Deep Love

The above is a youtube video of the "Passion of the Christ" with Phil Wickham's "Devine Romance" playing over it....

Friends, I have watched that video at least five times this week and with each viewing there are tears shed. I'm sure that we all have heard of the crucifiction. Christ took on our sins as his own to bear and went through an enormous trial. I have heard the story numerous times. I could see it in my head: a crown of thorns, a wooden cross....

But this video rocked me to the core. I am astonished.

This beautiful man, the Son of God no less, went through immense pain. Bore the wrath of the sinful and bloodthirsty. Riddiculed, broken down, and killed....To save our lives. How do we even deserve this? This deep love God has for us. This gift He has given us. This life I am living...is not my own.

This video is an eye opener....This video puts a fire in my heart....To live out a life for one who love's me beyond comparison...To one that gave everything so that I could live free...I am just so thankful for this gift...and that fire that has been lit is burning to share this gift with the world...This is the real deal...
