AS you see and feel Jesus
more real, try this exercise:
Slowly, slowly
read Psalm 22 as if Jesus is actually saying the words.
When you come to the parts
that sound TOO human, just remember, Jesus on the Cross was experiencing all
the disgust, corruption, heartache, pain that any human experiences even though
He was not a specific sinner. He was feeling the results of sin, like you and
me, and that leads to death.
Certainly, we do not
understand fully how God the Father could allow this to happen to his son. I
mean, since He is God, couldn’t he do something else, something not so brutal?
This is one of the ways God’s ways are not fully understood by us. Grace and
faith must come to us.
Again, read the scripture as
if Jesus speaks. Feel the word meanings with him. Know the hurt by recognizing
his reality. He prays with you, he reads scripture with you, he is ever present
with you NOW sharing your load.
