What do we usually think about during this time of year? My thoughts wander more readily to the sacrifice the Lord made for us. I realize that he didn't have to do anything. He could have stayed in Heaven, forgot about us and let us drift away. If we were honest with ourselves, we would admit that sometimes we think that he has. It isn't true. He holds us in his arms and waits for us to notice him. I admittedly struggle with the concept of sacrifice. I wonder why. I see in my mind's eye the images of the Lord hanging on that cross. He did his father's will. How many of us can say the same?
Most, if they would admit to themselves, focus more on the pagan aspects of the celebration of Easter. It's hard to fathom what the Lord went through during those hours. Yet we also know that if he hadn't, then we would all be lost.
