why are we christians anyways?
so yesterday at church, our pastor basically spoke on what Jesus did at the cross. he talked about that and everything that it entails. it was an awesome sermon and really got me thinking. but then, to finish it before communion, he showed a clip from the Passion of the Christ. I have never watched that movie, but let me tell you that no words can express what i felt and realized when i watched that. like.....ask yourself the question that i asked as the title of this post. why are we? now i could come up with a bunch of stuff. i could say because there's good morals. i could say because i love worship. i could list a long list. but when it comes down to it, its what He did on the cross. He didn't just suffer, he took on every amount of suffering anyone in the world had ever suffered or will ever suffer. ALL OF IT. the deepest pain you've ever felt? nothing in comparison. can you remember the last time you thought you might die? that it a paper cut compared to Jesus' sufferings. HE DESERVES EVERYTHING WE HAVE. EVERYTHING. i know i will never be good enough or give Jesus enough, but i want to. i want to give Him all. i think as Christians we get caught up in the motions, the music, the books, church, youth group, etc., that we forget why the heck we even got ourselves into this whole thing.
