"good" f r i d a y


"good" f r i d a y, originally uploaded by jaki good.

nothing more pivotal than this -
i am standing at his bloody feet and wondering why He loves me this much. Can He possibly know the countless mistakes i've made?

He knows the worst of me and is suffering the most excruciating pain and the most humiliating death because of the magnitude of my sin.

As i watch Him fight to fill His lungs, i am completely overtaken by regret....i can not deny that my rebellion presses the thorns deep into His brow. the utter folly of my selfishness now costs Him everything.

His body is broken and His blood is on my hands.
i am so guilty....i should be on that cross!

but He endures this Hell because He loves me......He's making a way for me....He's willingly taking my place.

the mystery is unfathomable.

this splintered and bloodstained cross becomes my tree of life.

oh how i love you Jesus.

Great words Jaki! I didn't realize you were a believer too :) Wonderful shot as well. I really enjoy your photostream on flickr as well... lots of wonderful portraits and inspiration. You have a very unique style.. I can always tell which shots are yours without even seeing your name.

Thanks for the inspiration!
