Day 23rd out of 24.

The Death of Jesus;

Luke 23;

“There was a moment when the lights went out
When death had claimed its victory
The King of Love had given up His life
The darkest day in history
There on the cross they made for sinners
For every curse His blood atoned
One final breath and it was finished
But not the end we could have known”

Everyone was hopeless, could you imagine what the disciple went through; What Mary went through, their savior hung upon that cursed tree. Confusion, fear, and despair— We know the end of the story, but they don’t. It must have felt like all hope was lost. But they still have faith, even though the situation is helpless. For us, too, there are times when God’s plans seem hidden, and hope feels out of reach. Situation, hopelessness, pain, suffering, even death. In those moments, we ought to be reminded to stay near to Him, to trust in His promises and plan. Because we serve God of the impossible.

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ” -Romans 8:31
