And there's a God that walks over the earth...

My church has their "Good Friday" service on Thursday night.

This year it was different for me. I had just finished reading Life of Pi by Yann Martel. And in that book the main character struggles with the idea of God. The part where he is talking to a priest is particularly interesting to me. He says that it doesn't make any sense for God to die in punishment for His creations sin.

And it doesn't.

It doesn't make sense that Jesus died for us. When I read that, I said out loud, "But that's the beauty of it." The beauty of mercy--of grace.

I didn't deserve Christ's sacrifice--I still don't. Nobody does.

And still He came.

And still He died.

What kind of love is this, that God should lay down His Son's life for a wretch like me?

Beautiful pain.
