It's All In What - Or Who We Choose

So the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, sent down from our Heavenly Father to bring Salvation and Healing to a world full of lost sinners; and we beheld His glory, full of grace and truth. He walked and talked among us; teaching and healing the sick, the blind, and the deaf. Casting out demons, raising the dead, turning water into wine; and still we did not know who He really was. His very own disciple, Judas, betrayed Him for a mere 30 pieces of silver and when he led the soldiers to the garden to arrest Him, he greeted Him with a kiss on the cheek and turned Him over to be abused and persecuted, tortured above all men, and die a horrible death on the cross.
This man, the Son of God, suffered horribly at the hands of the soldiers; and when they mockingly paraded Him before us; bleeding and horribly defaced, clad in a robe with a crown of thorns upon His bleeding head; we were given the choice between 'He who had done no wrong', or the murdering thief to be set free; and we chose the murdering thief to go free. We, the people, chose a vile cruel sinner who repeatedly robbed and killed and did nothing but evil to mankind, rather than The Man sent from God 'Who knew no sin', but who only Loved with all His heart to set men free from sin, sickness, and disease.
Today, the choice is still ours. Will we choose Jesus who endured suffering and torture, while nailing our sins to His cross so we could be pardoned from our sins(not His) and be free from our disease and oppression; or will we choose the ways of the wicked and refuse to hear His calling to come just as we are and allow Him to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. As Holy Week continues and we celebrate all the works our Lord Jesus did to redeem us and set us free, I pray you will think about the depth of His Love as He endured all that was needed for us to be pardoned from our sins, and invite Him into your heart so you can be free in every way. He whom the Son sets free, is free indeed(John 8:36). It's really all in what - or who we choose!
Enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~
