Let me break it down...
For those who didn't know, today was the day that Christ had his last meal before being nailed to the cross...while I am writing this, Christ was actually in the Garden praying to God, His father, to pass the cup to someone else, or find another way to get His humans to come back to him...
There is no way I could possibly fathom what he was going through...the angst, the confusion, knowing what he would go through, the torture, the hate, the death.
Soon, Judas will bring the soldiers to Jesus and kiss him on his cheek forever changing the course of history. So, while we celebrate a bunny rabbit bringing us a basket full of fake grass, with plastic eggs full of delicious candy, or while we celebrate our planet and how to clean it up, let's remember that this weekend, a man, who had the choice to walk away and didn't, gave his life for every living being, all those that have lived before you and me, and all those that will come after us. So that, instead of God sending a series of plagues, or flooding the earth, or just killing us on the spot and starting over, God decided that he would sacrifice the only piece of him that he himself put on this earth through Mary.
How heavy is that?
It floors me! It really does. When I really picture it in my head, tears just flow. They flow, because I can only imagine, the pain and torture that he went through and then the died. But then I have to remind myself, the biggest sacrifice that he made was coming back to earth so that he could prove that he was God's real son and that he could indeed defeat the devil at any time.

Stay tuned if you will, tomorrow, I'd like to talk more about "Good" Friday.
