So Friday something happened that couldn't happen. Ok well not Friday but 2000 years ago Friday. A man died that couldn't. Original sins is passed down from Father to children. But Jesus was born from a Father that had no sin. Therefore he did not possess original sin and since he did not sin in his life either then he could not die. You see sin is death so without sin there can be no death. Jesus even asked God to forgive those who were torturing him. But those men could not kill him. He told the man next to him that he would be saved. But he couldnt die. He had no sin. But this man without sin died. How? Where did the sin come from that allowed him to die? What was the sin that allowed death to enter him? It was mine. He took on my sin and when he did God turned away and the Sun failed to shine. Jesus cried out that God had forsaken him. The he said "It is finished" and he died. Because of me, but also for me. For God's love for me. This was my lesson yesterday and the kids really got it. Thank you Holy Spirit. Thank you Jesus.
