When you reflect on the death of Christ its hard to not carry a heavy heart. Every time I read through the events leading into and sealing His death, all I can think of is who I would be in that crowd.
Would I help carry the cross? Or would I just stand shouting in hopes of His execution?
I really struggle with that question because the hard truth is I'm an executor in my heart. I destroy, harm, and tear apart. I'd be in the audience calling for death or at least I'd be Peter denying my friend and Lord.
Whats incredible is took look upon the cross and to know that Jesus felt every bit of my evil heart. He felt all of ours and then He wiped it away as if it never had a place in us at all.
One of my favorite lines I've reflected upon recently is line from the Salomon Ligthelm film Anomaly. It says "a light has shined in the darkness. but the darkness has not understood it."
I truly believe thats where the Jews were that day (and sadly still are often today). Jesus shined the light that day and the darkness could not understand what it was. Today we are still often times misunderstanding the light instead of just accepting it for what it is. Light.
Let us surrender to the Cross. Let us rest in redemption. Step into the light.
