Was It Worth It?

When is the last time you truly thought about what Christ went through on Calvary?
When is the last time you contemplated on His agony, the excruciating pain, the sense of loneliness that He must have felt?
How many times have you taken for granted the extreme sacrifice offered for your soul?
Why did Jesus do it?
Why did He care?
How did Christ find the strength necessary to go through with the plan?
What was going through His mind on the cross?
Were there unanswered questions that He struggled with in those last few hours?
Did Christ grapple with the temptation to save himself while hanging there?
Could He have battled feelings of hatred as He suffered the torment of the nails, the spear, the awful thirst?
What would it be like to be totally separated from GOD?
Would the silence from above hurt more than the pain inflicted from below?
Could He see the end or was He lost in the moment?
How could Jesus still love in spite of the anguish, the fear, the bleakness?
Where did He find the strength to forgive?
How could His last act on the cross be one of mercy, an execution of grace?

Looking at your life, was it worth it?
