Before the beginning of this world God looked down through the corridors of time and said that you and I and the Thief on the cross are going to be lost and they are going to need a Savior. I am going to send my Son to die for them so they won't die and go to an eternal burning hell. So He sent His Son to die for us and He would have done that if we had been the only ones in the world.
And Jesus said unto him "Verily I say unto thee,
Today shalt thou be with me in paradise."
~Luke 23:43~
The Passionate Path What response resounds within my heart, Of the purpose of the Lord To journey down that lonely path. We will not see a powerless victim Condemned to death by man, For from the beginning, the Son of God Was chosen to fulfill the beloved plan. They couldn't cast Him from the craggy edge Or stone His soul to death, Nor would they choose the hour As all occurred, exactly as He said.
From the time He summoned the betrayer
Oh, how easily He could have renounced
Then, with the weight of all our pain
Derry's Heart Poems
Don't we have a wonderful living God?
He who believes in me will live, even though he dies." ~ John 11:25~
