2000 years ago, He made a choice.

Again.

He made a choice to be the substitute.

And it wasn’t like it was the only time to make the choice.  But it was the final time to make the choice.

Not understanding time, I do not know how long He had to think about doing this.  But I have a feeling He got to think for a VERY long time.  And, that alone, must have been difficult.

But to walk it out?  It is unfathomable.

Romans 5 6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 

While we were still sinners.

We have so much to be grateful for.

And we owe it all to Him.

In the middle of our awkward attempt at life, He intervened.

And He intervened in a moment where it would have been very difficult.

He intervened when we were UGLY … and DISLOYAL … and NASTY.  He intervened when we could not have been easy to save.

He intervened when we had hearts of PURE STONE.  Ezekiel 36 says that He gives us a new heart.

He intervened when we were spiritually inadequate.  Genesis 14 says He will bless us and replenish us.

He intervened when we were closest to death and outnumbered by our enemies.  Psalm 23 says that He will comfort us in the midst of death.

He intervened when we were held captive by the evil ruler of hell.  Matthew 16 says that even the gates of hell will not stand.

And He intervened to defeat the enemy for all time.  Revelation 19 says that He will ride a white horse … and that our enemies shall not prosper.

And He intervened from beyond time.  Revelation 22 says that He is the beginning … and the end.

As you celebrate Easter this 2026, let us not be calloused, or broken, or unaware.

Let us be fully aware of what He did … knowing even in the midst of this that we have NOT A CLUE.

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
