Unimaginable Pain

March 30, 2015 by Andy Lesnefsky Leave a Comment

We throw the word love around a lot. We also have heard the phrase “God loves you” so much sometimes it can seem like a bumper sticker catch phrase. Love is not just some simple emotion but a reality God has shared with us in words and deeds.

Kathleen McCarthy 2 #ShareJesus blogAs Jesus suffers he thinks of you. He’s crushed with not only the immense pain of the cross but of the weight of our sin.  Ultimately we see love literally poured out on the cross. He suffers death to pay a price, the price of our sin.

I had an interesting conversation on Facebook with someone the other day about whether or not Jesus forgave Judas. God’s mercy, love and grace are hard to fathom, but he takes even the sin of Judas to the cross with him. It’s hard to believe that he would willingly die for his betrayer.

The reality of His suffering and death is that it pays a price we cannot pay. Forgiveness was won for even Judas on the cross. Judas’ decision was whether or not he could accept this. There is no sin Jesus can’t forgive, but we need to choose to accept the reality of his forgiveness in our lives.  He offers you new life. Will you seek and accept his forgiveness? Will you allow new life to be a reality in your life this Easter?

Today #ShareJesus features Kathleen McCarthy today contemplating his unimaginable pain and what he went through.

Why Would God Give His Only Son?

March 9, 2015 by Andy Lesnefsky Leave a Comment

As a parent, there is perhaps nothing more difficult than watching your kids suffer. God the Father gave his only son, knowing full well the ending Jesus would face. His love is amazing. He loves so unselfishly.

kathleen mccarthy #ShareJesus blogHow do you receive this love? It remains an abstract idea or just a nice concept until we encounter this love. He gives it each and every day for us.

Here’s a great thought for your prayer today: “It is always the time of hope, confidence and love. Everything passes; love remains. We will not be disappointed.”– Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini

Kathleen McCarthy talks today about why God would give his only son and challenges you to consider what you are willing to give of yourself to share the gospel.
