Christ's Passion is God's Love
something that struck me in today's good friday liturgy:
why do we celebrate Christ's passion?
why celebrate the pain, suffering and the very death of Christ?
it's not the pain, suffering and the death of Christ we are celebrating...
... it's the LOVE of God
... for this reason He embraced all these.
... i dare not ask who am i to deserve all these.
... yet He continues to love and He continues to suffer for our sake, for my sake.
... such LOVE could never be surpassed, except by Him who surpasses His own love every day.
that's why no matter how small or big my difficulty is, or no matter how dark the world may appear to me, my life would remain a "blessing" for the simple reason that i am loved.
