My friend, Josiah DeGraaf wrote this really amazing testimony. He's an author, and has a website on Weebly. Please check it out at: aratrea.weebly.com
A man walking up the hill strains underneath the weight of his burden and falls down, unable to carry it. Another man carries it up for him. The man is then pierced with nails through the palms of his hands and his feet. Nailed to a cross, he looks down at the crowd below him and...prays mercy for them. This is my Lord Jesus Christ on Golgatha on that day. Stricken, smitten, and afflicted. Now dying on the cross. A painful, shameful death on the cross. Why? So that those who hate him might be reconciled to him and not live in torment forever more. This is my God, of whom I serve. This is my Savior, who died for me.
