When I first read this bible reading it immediately reminded me of the story of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. It is truly an amazing gift God gave us - His only son to die for us and cleanse us of all our sins and lift us out of darkness forever.
But we have the advantage of knowing the whole story … think of the people who lived during that time. I cannot fathom how scary it must have been. It is hard to picture the moon turning to blood and the terrible darkness.
How did we get so lucky? Could you have sent your son to death for everyone’s sins? Are you calling on the Lord today? Are you taking the time to invite others to join us in this amazing gift of being saved in the name of the Lord forever? These are the questions we ponder as we consider the wonderful gift that God has given us this seasons.
