"Gap of Eternity"

We can numb it for a season but it's always coming back. I physically feel this in myself and all around campus. It's so heavy here. I'm beginning to see more and more each day how helpless we really are. Thank God there's good news.

He saved me.

The cross ... where the wrath of God and the love of God is most seen.

A while ago a man named Jesus died on a cross for me, was buried, and was raised on the third day according to the scriptures. I just don't get how this message, Christ crucified and Christ risen, has flipped my whole world upside down. By grace God's been reminding of my journey of how I got to be here. I find myself crying pretty often haha. Every accusation that could be brought against me has been nailed to the cross and those piercing words of Jesus ... IT IS FINISHED! ... There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! I can't believe He saved a wretched, indifferent, hopeless guy like me.

I'm about to write up a testimony sometime soon to post on my home church's youth website and for whatever reason it continually changes ... or at least I'm just seeing more and more how much He loved me and gave himself up for me. But ya, the other day I just stumbled upon this passage and it really is my testimony.

"Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands—remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ."
-Ephesians 2:11-13

He saved me!

Worship.

You know an encounter with God happened when you open your eyes and ask yourself "whoa what just happened? where am I ... ? Praise God!".

That good news of Jesus and what He did on the cross ... man ...
