how amazing to even begin to fathom such love. knowing that you were blameless but because of pure, unconditional, sacrificial love, you give the complete and ultimate sacrifice, for a world who at the time pretty much hated you. all you had ever given was love. all you had ever done, was love, every bit and every ounce of you...love. and yet now people hated you, wished for your death, and ultimately because you willingly gave up your life, that's what they received. they didn't know this but, it was God's perfect will and plain unveiling, right before their eyes. i'm sure most of the mob, felt a huge sense of fulfillment, because they had received what they ultimately wanted and set out to do...kill this man, who called Himself the King of the Jews, how dare Him to exalt Himself to such a place. So, they crucified Him, and when He died He declared, "It Is Finished." His body was placed in a borrowed tomb. those that killed him thought that they had rid themselves of a man that had only shown love but one who they had become so swelled with jealousy over and now, it appeared as if they had won. those that loved Him were filled with anguish, grief, and sorrow. And, now we wait, for Sunday will come, because God had a different plan.
Mercy Said, "NO!"
