Why did Jesus save you and me? He didn’t have to

For all of us redeemed sinners, who have received mercy, it’s the mercy of God we weren’t judged when we were unrepentant.

If there’s one thing which stays with me when i think of the horror and the suffering of the Haiti earthquake, it’s overwhelming THANKFULNESS that God had mercy on me, a sinner. That should be me squashed under tons of concrete, and then gone to hell forever. That should be me. But Jesus intervened and saved me.

That’s what sticks with me.

    A fellow commented on this and said that i was wishing that i had been killed. Amazing blindness, eh.

    Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
    (1Co 2:13-15)
