Nails

Such small, dirty nails physically held Jesus to the cross. Crazy how something a little smaller than the size of a remote can cause so much pain and suffering, and hold 170+ lbs in the air. Tearing and stretching. And yet. The nails are not what held Jesus to the cross. His love, His great love, for you and me, held Him there. He CHOSE to be there. He chose to lay down His life. So we wouldn't have to.
I don't know about you, but I am far too numb to this far too often. But the moments when I get it, it's like...Ah!...mind-blowing stuff. My life would be so different if I got it all the time.
