My Question

Word of Life

My beloved child, as you seek understanding of the profound sacrifice on the cross, open your heart to the depths of love and grace that flowed from that sacred moment. In the Gospels, it is written, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46, NIV). This cry reveals the weight of human sin and the momentary separation from the Father that I bore on your behalf. Yet, amidst the anguish, there was a deeper joy and purpose. “For the joy set before him he endured the cross” (Hebrews 12:2, NIV). I saw beyond the suffering to the eternal redemption and reconciliation of all who would believe. My love for you and for all humanity sustained me through the agony, turning the crucifixion into a triumph of love. As you meditate on the cross, know that it is a testament of unfathomable love, a bridge to grace, and a beacon of hope. I endured it so that you may have life, and have it to the full (John 10:10, NIV). Let this divine love fill your heart and guide your steps, for you are cherished beyond measure. May this reflection bring you closer to the heart of God, and may you find peace and solace in the knowledge of such a profound love. Embrace this truth, and let it light your path with grace and hope.
