Dare to witness the crucifixion — 3 Comments

  1. Janice, I identify with this post. I tend to acknowledge the cross without dwelling on just how intense and horrible Jesus’ suffering was. This week I came across these verses from Isaiah 52, which brought a perspective like what you’ve expressed here–both about the crucifixion and about its results:

    13 See, my servant will act wisely;
    he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
    14 Just as there were many who were appalled at him—
    his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being
    and his form marred beyond human likeness—
    15 so he will sprinkle many nations,
    and kings will shut their mouths because of him.
    For what they were not told, they will see,
    and what they have not heard, they will understand.

    Appreciating you!
    Diane

    • Yes, it is easy to skim over the crucifixion story when the words become too familiar. Then we miss the depth of God’s love and the personal experience that is available to us. Thanks for your words of encouragement.

  2. Thank you, Janice, for this post. We are to pray to know Him more deeply, and what He went through for me prior to and on the cross deepens my love for Jesus. The Passion is a powerful movie. Let’s pray many will see it this season and come to know Jesus personally as their Lord and Savior. For some, it may be their last chance to accept Him.
