A few weeks ago I came across this picture online and now it's hanging on the wall of my living room. When I sit there and look at it, I notice that I am affected by different emotions.
On the one hand, looking at it triggers deep humility and gratitude in me. Jesus gave his life (for me in two ways) to defeat death, which has power and power through sin. But it was not enough to give his life, but rather his resurrection from the dead sealed this victory and broke the power of death forever.
On the other hand, I am filled with hope and joy. This picture makes it clear to me that physical death is not the end, but a new beginning. The stone will also be rolled away from my grave. Of course, in reality I don't know what will happen next and what I will perceive, but I really like the idea of looking at a sunrise. I then not only experience the rebirth of my soul but at the same time the birth of a new day. And the 3 crosses remind me that there is the ONE who went before and made all of this possible.
HE gave everything and paid the bill in full.
