No, He Wouldn't

"It's My Favorite Time of Year"! Dru Hill was referring to Christmas. I am talking about Easter or Resurrection Sunday. The time of the year to commemorate the time that Jesus was Hung Up for My Hang Ups. We talk about the fact that It Wasn't the Nails, but love that kept him on that cross. Don't ask What Love, because there is No Greater Love than a man that would lay down his life for his friend.

That's in the scriptures. But also in the Bible in Matthew 28, we find out about what happened after he died. Three days later, an angel had to tell the three ladies named Mary, "He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said". Yes, Jesus Rose like he said he would. It's that Great time of the year.

You did know if I ever did a post about my favorite Easter song, it was going to be religious. Not just because I am a Christian, but because the only known secular songs for this time of the year are Here Comes Peter Cottontail & Easter Parade. Sacred songs are popular for this holiday. Well, the songs you hovered and clicked to listen to are on my favorites list but still not my favorite.

My favorite makes me grateful that I was not the savior. It jars my mind. I wouldn't have come down from the cross. Unlike Jesus, I wouldn't have ever made it to the cross. That sounds crazy, but I don't say any of this in total jest. I knew it was my destiny. I knew it was my father will. But I have a tendency to go into a few of life's tests making an F. Pray for me to do better! In the Garden of Gethsemane, I would've lost it as soon as Judas kissed me. Tears would've blinded me, but as soon as I saw the religious leaders, I would've told them off. The heads of the synagogues were jealous that Jesus was healing all kinds of people (Men, Women, Children Jewish, Gentiles, "Righteous", "Non-Righteous") physically, emotionally, & spiritually. He was helping people be their best and they essentially were not. And Jesus was doing all this in 3 years and they knew they will never do any of it. I would've taunted them and laughed at their trump up political & sanctimonious charges they used to arrest me. I would've died, maybe by stoning. But do you think God would be pleased with me? I doubt it. But he knew that.

Jesus did none of that. He Decided to Die. If He had come down from the cross, then my soul would still be lost, as the lyrics say. And I'm grateful that he did stay and that He Got Up with all power in his hands.

Did I mention your favorite Easter song? What is yours? Would you have been more Jesus? While you're commenting, I'll still be humming & smiling. Why? Just Because He Lives!!!
