I've been slacking in my reading lately and im trying to get back into it and its been hard because i always say to myself, I dont feel like reading i c9ould be doing something better." but seriously i need to get back into my reading.......so i finally read last night and here are some points from the book.........
--The ragamuffin Christ is roughly handled, pushed aroun, scourged and spat upon, murdered and buried among His own ilk. I had no idea what ilk meant so i went to dictionary.com to check it out and it didnt clear any of that up, so i decided to forget about it...lol
--"God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Corinthians 5:21.....Every form of sin and its consequences, broken relationships, hatred, pride, jealousy, cancer, and on and on were experienced and carried by "a thing despised and rejected by men" (Isaiah 53:3) who knew the nadir of an agony such as no one has ever dreamed....there were more in the list above but i just typed the ones that have or had applied to my own life.....broken relationships with my dad and i are progressing which is awesome....i've been praying about it and this morning before the service in big church to tell me that he cant make it to the senior luncheon cuz he has to work and he thanked me for asking him and said love ya and i said it back, its been a long time since i said that to my dad.....and wow did it feel great......
--Jesus is God.....no question on that, lol...
-- What shall we say to such an out pouring of love? How shall we respond?
--- The love of Christ and His gospel of grace calls for a personal, free, and unconventional decision.
-- It is Christ offering the opportunity of a lifetime: "I, the Light, have come into the world, so that whoever believes in me need not stay in the dark anymore." John 12:46.......i like that passage a lot.....i just love how it says that He came into the world so that we wont have to be in the dark, but there are times where i do feel that way and lately i have, but He is here to give us light......which is awesome..........
-- We cannot will ourselves to accept grace. There are no magic words, preset formulas, or esoteric rites of passage. Only Jesus Christ sets us free from indecision.
more tomorrow night cuz my eyes are getting heavy, lol...............well good night all.......
leave me something, please, lol
