| This same Jesus, the Jesus who hung on that cross—broken, bruised, and lonely, the Jesus who watched as the sky turned dark and thunder rolled when GOD turned his back—this same Jesus was alone and in pain. And all the while he was thinking about each one of us today. Your hurts, your fears, your life without a purpose. And he was thinking about me. His love was overflowing from his heart just as fast as his blood dropped to that dusty ground. You see he knew that you and me … we would need a SAVIOR and he wasn’t afraid to take the job. Jesus hasn’t changed at all. He’ll always remain the same. The same Jesus who died on the cross loves us just as much as he did then, no matter the sin in our life—His arms are still open wide. It’s when life has nothing to give—when everything that once brought happiness and fulfillment has disappeared, then you will start looking. When each day is a struggle—the cold seems to last longer and night seems darker. When there’s nowhere to belong and loneliness creeps in your heart, when everyone has left and everything disappears, when the daily routine of life becomes too big of a burden…that’s when you’ll find him. With just as much love in his heart as when he gave up his life.
