Like a slide projected on the screen of my mind, I see an image of Mary. Her face is a suffering mask and I cannot even imagine what it must have been like for her. How does a mother watch her son being nailed to a cross? How does she bear it? Suddenly I have another thought. Mary wasn’t the only one who had a son die that fateful day. Jesus was the Son of God as well as Mary’s son. What was it like for Him? What did Father God feel as He watched His Son die?
“God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8
Father God, thank You for Your great love and Your incredible grace. I want to repay You somehow, but in my spirit I hear You say, “My love is not to be paid back but passed on.” Help me to pass it on. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
