Two years ago, on Good Friday, I asked Jesus, “Do You really see me? Do You really know what I’m going through? Did You really have me in mind on that cross?”

And this image came to mind… and never left:
Me, standing at the foot of the cross, looking up, feeling small and frustrated, and Jesus, hanging on that cross, up on that mountain. And after being beaten and tortured, physically struggling to keep His head up, hung His head low. And in doing so, His gaze met mine.

And in that moment, I knew. He sees me. He sees the frustration, questioning, pain, doubt… He sees my shame, guilt, sin, regrets… but still, He chose the cross. He chose love.

That should’ve been me on that cross.
But all I can say is “thank You.”

Because I don’t deserve it.
Because He didn’t deserve it.
Because He did it anyway.

He bore that cross with us in mind.
HIs head hung low, perfectly meeting our gaze.
As if to say, “I know. But still. I love you.”

Can't wait to see you and worship with you tomorrow!
