I THOUGHT OF YOU 2,000 YEARS AGO  8/06/06

When I was in the Garden sweating drops of blood, seeing the cross before Me was too painful to face.  Then I saw your face and your own pain as you so willing listened to Me, wanting to follow Me, and yet could not face your own cross either.  Oh how you drew My heart!  Love found a way for you, love found a way.  My Father revealed your need to Me during My worst agony on earth, and as I swallowed His will and the cup He offered, I willing laid My life down as a sacrifice. 

Isa 53:10-11 NKJV

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
