How much time do you spend focusing on the cross?? Do you think about all the things Christ has done for us and the pain he endured?
Over this Christmas season I have been thinking about all the things Christ has done for me and I realized that I do not think about what he did on the cross nearly as much as I should. I mean we all know that he died for our sins but do we think about what it really meant? Jesus Christ, God Himself, became a human and faced temptation, and all the evils of this world to save us from Hell. If you have not seen the Passion of the Christ, I highly recommend it because it does the best job of showing the horror of the things Jesus went through to save my soul.
When I see the pain he went through from the whippings and beatings I cringe thinking that I am personally responsible for all the things he went through and I should have been the one being punished. Here is a site that sell replicas of the whip Christ was beaten with. It has some pictures of the whip against plexi-glass and descriptions of the power of the whip. Really good to see the destructive power of the whip.
Don't spend a ridiculous amount of time focused on the horrors of the Crucifixion but I think it is important to see in order to grasp(as much as possible) what Christ did for us.
God bless,
Anthony
