So once again I have not been quite the studious blogger…forgive me! Life has been pretty busy, as I'm sure it is for many of you. One day things will slow down though! I really hate busy-ness and wish that wasn't the response I often give when asked "How are you?" but I could write a really long blog about that, and that's not what I want to write about tonight!
I wanted to write tonight about a beautiful image I got of what our wonderful Father did for us. I watched the movie "Air Force One" tonight - what a great movie! Very suspenseful and heroic…you should watch it! I won't go into the whole movie, but basically a group of terrorists hijack Air Force One and take all of the passengers hostage, including the president and his wife and daughter. There is a point when the chief hijacker has a gun held to the president's daughter's head and he tells the president if he meets his demands, he will release her. However, the demands are to release the ex-Russian president, which could mean thousands of people losing their lives in Russia…sound familiar?
I think I forget how hard it must have been for God to see his son going through this, and for Jesus to take what he took. I guess I know that they both knew that it would be over soon and he would rise again in three days. At the same time though, I know it's hard for parents to watch their children go through any type of pain, whether it be some sort of accident or surgery…so how hard to watch your child die an extremely painful death? And not only that, it was the plan and always was the plan. God chose for it to be this way and there was no other way to solve the problem of covering our sin. I can't understand it, but can only be so very thankful for it. Without his death we could not have eternal life, or true life on this earth for that matter.
I don't want to ruin the movie for you so I won't say what Mr. President decides…you'll have to watch it yourself! I hope this finds everyone super blessed!
