He did all that for us and that doesn't even go into detail about the pain. Yet we find it so hard to do something for him sometimes........

Yeah, totally agreed. I think the most amazing part is that not only did He do all that for us, but He did it as God! Imagine you created a world of ants, and they continually hated you and did everything against you. Then, imagine having so much love that you would become like them and be beaten, mocked, whipped and killed for things you created.

Imagine that, expect Christ is so much more incredible, magnificent and powerful that we could ever be. How awesome He is!

It's absolutely astounding. What a purposeful master we serve. He came with a mission, fulfilled that mission, and has saved my soul.

He deserves all of our praise, that's for sure.
