I've been silent, at a loss for words, uncertain I can begin to express the horror yet admiration, the awfulness yet awe, both appalled yet adoring, mortified yet thankful, deeply shamed yet convicted over this horrible yet beautiful act of Jesus. Reflecting on this horrific yet blessed act of love fills me again with overwhelming love for my Savior - what a wretched yet glorious day! how could my Lord beautifully yet awfully silent, perfectly yet mortifyingly humble walk thru the humiliation and torture spurred on by evil and dealt out by sinful man. And yet, "for the joy set before Him", the joy of rescuing His rebellious lost, because of a love too marvelous for words, a love so wide and deep and long and high, a love that exceeds our comprehension and any explanation, a love that can only be found in a perfect, holy, righteous, just and good God - only that kind of love could ever decisively and victoriously take on such hellish consequences so we would never have to, so we could indeed be set free once and for all! what is mankind that you are mindful of us? while we were yet sinners You would die for us❤️ My Lord and My God, too wonderful for words, worthy of all honor and praise, that my life would reflect even a tiny speck of your goodness & mercy, grace & love.
