“For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;” – Isaiah 59:12
On Holy Saturday, we remember Jesus’ Triumphant descent into Hell. While Catholics and Protestants may view this even differently, at the end of the day, Jesus is Triumphant and on that we can agree 🙂
And there is something else that we can all agree on, without Jesus we would all be in hell.
But there is something else that we don’t talk enough about. All of those who Loved Jesus-were mourning. One can’t help but think of Mary, His Mother, how she must have felt! Or Mary Magdalene, how she must have mourned! And then there were Christ’s Apostles! They all witnessed Jesus’ suffering! How much pain that must have caused them!
See, it wasn’t just Christ that suffered, although He suffered horribly. It was also all of those who loved Him!
Our gratitude to Jesus can not be understated! His willingness to suffer for our sins is amazing.
But I am also grateful to all those who loved Him, for I know that must have weighted heavy on Jesus’ heart because He loved them too!
