Built this in me and my friend's minecraft world and wanted to share it here!
On this day 2000 years ago in Israel Jesus was subjected to one of the worst pains people could inflict. Crucifixion. He did it for our sins. Jesus loved us so much he gave his life, descended into hell for three days which keep in mind could have been 40 years in eternity time all to free us from the dark ones grasp. He gave up his life for us. He felt every hit, every bone breaking on the climb up to the Hill of the Skull, every name in the book thrown at him by people in the street. He felt it all. He did it because he loved us!
HE did it FOR US exactly 1993 YEARS AGO. SAY AMEN.
Happy Easter :)
Christians from across Birmingham come together to walk with the cross, remembering the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on Good Friday.
Scrolling Instagram, and I came across a post with how Americans portray Jesus and how other countries portray him.
On the left, Jesus is portrayed as a white man, with a MAGA hat, clenching a KKK hat with a slinged AR-15.
On the right, Jesus is carrying a satchel with fish and loaves of bread.
The comment section is furious, continuously justifying the portrayal with him holding a rifle, using Luke 22:36 as justification: “Sell your cloak and buy a sword”.
You know who this sounds like? Judas. It sounds like Judas, who is in disbelief that the messiah didn’t arrive with an army, with swords, shields, and a war horse, and in the end, betraying him for the price of a slave.
Oh, how did the humble, Prince of PEACE, who arrived in Jerusalem on a donkey, be portrayed as a war monger. How did a religion, built on self-sacrifice, humility and love turn to this?
Behold, Behold, The Wood Of The Cross, On Which Is Hung, Our Salvation ✝️
let us remember on this day that the lamb was slain for our sins, worthy is he to receive honor and glory
