Love crucified, arose
i'm listening to: Love crucified, arose -Michael Card
watched the passion of the Christ today. i cried thru the whole movie (minus the first 10mins & credits)...as i sat there watching that "Christ" being tortured, spat at, humiliated, i tot of Christ, my Saviour, who went thru all that for me...just so i could live. He, a Man who was totally faultless, was willing to die for an undeserving wretch like me..."greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" -john 15:13
of cos i can never comprehend the excruciating pain He went thru, but you know, Christ died not because of pain, but more so because He wanted to pay for OUR sins. it's only by His death on the cross that our sins were forgiven and we may enter heaven. He was carrying the weight of the world, and despite how much God His Father loved Him, He had to turn away His face from His only Son the moment Jesus was carrying the sins of the world, because God can never stand sin. that's why Jesus asked "Father, why has Thou forsaken me?" when He was hanging on Calvary's tree... "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
when Christ died on the cross, it meant our sins were fully paid for (tt's why He said "it is finished")...and when He rose again on the 3rd day, it meant victory over death and Satan! i thank God He rose again for if He did not, there would be no hope for tomorrow...
So, who is this Love that's referred to in the song am listening to? Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Love (Jesus) was crucfied, and rose again... :)
Love, crucified arose by Michael Card:
"long ago He blessed the earth, born older than the years. and in the stall the cross He saw thru the 1st of many tears. a life of homeless wandering, cast out in sorrow's way, the Shepherd seeking for the lost, His life the price He paid. Love crucified, arose. the Risen One in splendour, Jehovah's sole Defender, has won the victory. Love crucified, arose, and the grave became a place of hope, for the heart that sin and sorrow broke, is beating once again. thru out Your life You've felt the weight, of what You'd come to give. to drink for us that crimson cup, so we might really live. at last the time to love & die, the dark appointed day. that one forsaken moment when Your Father turned His face away...Love crucified, arose. the One Who lived & died for me, was Satan's nail-pierced casualty, now he's breathing once again. Love crucified, arose, and the grave became a place of hope, for the heart that sin & sorrow broke, is beating once again..."
