I'll have to get back to you on those questions...In the meantime, I have been riveted by the lyrics of Sidewalk Prophets' latest song, "You Love Me Anyway." Maybe it's a good place to start...
I am the thorn in your crown,
But You love me anyway.
I am the sweat from Your brow,
But You love me anyway.
I am the nail in Your wrist,
But You love me anyway.
I am Judas' kiss,
But you love me anyway.
See, I am the man who yelled out from the crowd
For your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking ground,
Yes then, I turned away with this smile on my face,
With this sin in my heart tried to bury Your grace,
Yes, and alone in the night, I still called out to You,
So ashamed of my life, my life, my life...
But you love me anyway.
The line that rocks me to the core is this one - "With this sin in my heart tried to bury Your grace. Then alone in the night, I still called out for You." The thought of mankind trying to bury their ONLY HOPE of Salvation is mind boggling on this side of the cross, but I can't say that I wouldn't have had a shovel in my hand if I had been there. ("He came into the very world he created, but the world didn't recognize Him. He came to His own people, and even they rejected Him." John 1:10-11 (NLT).)
BUT, we have this hope --- The. grave. could. NOT. hold. HIM!!!!
"Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?"
