Jesus (finally!)

Hey, guys! First of all I want to apologise for not posting all of last week. I was on vacation (yeah, I know, it's no excuse, I had all the time in the world). But anyways, this is about Jesus (another apology, this time because there is no way any of us could ever do this Hero justice)! You'd think He'd be the first one to pop into my mind when thinking about who is making a difference, but oh well.

Jesus made a difference. I think we can all agree on that. Lets start with His miracles. My favorite is (and I'm sure you'll understand why) when He raised a girl from the dead. So Jesus was just walking around with His diciples when this poor guy (named Jarius) comes up to Him and asks Jesus to heal his daughter who is dying. Jesus follows him, but this woman comes up behind Him and she wants healing too. She had been bleeding for twelve years (which, interestingly, is how old Jarius's daughter was). She reaches out to touch His cloak, and He instantly feels power going out of Him. He asks who touched Him (insert stupid comment from His diciples) and she probably freaked out. I mean yes, she was completly healed, but she didn't know much about Him. Would He be angry? It took her a little bit but she told Him it was her, He forgave her sins, and poor Jarius received the news that his daughter was dead. This didn't stop Jesus. He went to her anyways, and He brought her back to life.

His death and resurrection made a difference above all else. Because He loves us so much that He would give His life to save us all from sin. But also that He would do it to save just one of us. He loves us as a whole but also individually.

First He was betrayed (but incredibly He forgave Judas, I mean, who does that?), He was carried off to be tried, Peter denied knowing Him, He was mocked, and then He was crucified. All for us. (If that doesn't make you feel a teeny bit guilty, you are completly numb.) He took our place and made the ultimate difference. He made a difference in the lives of everyone He healed (and probably their friends and families too), physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

So that concludes this post. I hope you enjoyed. I apologize for it not being cohesive and just kind of strange. Gosh, if I keep apologising, I'm going to have to apologise for apologising so many times! Anyway, love you and God bless you all!
