New Again

My friend Moriah shared this song and video on her blog. I had never heard the song and certainly never seen the video. It's a beautiful song by Sara Evans and Brad Paisley called "New Again". As a mother, imagining what Mary must have gone through at the foot of that cross, is nothing short of heartwrenching. I cannot imagine having to see my son hanging and suffering on that cross and not be able to do a thing about it. It's also a great reminder this Christmas of the ultimate sacrifice and what Christmas is really all about. Christ wen't through all of this for us (believers and non believers) so that we have the opportunity to spend eternity with Him. And all that he asks for in return is for us to confess with our mouths that He is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead - that's it! Seems like an awfully small thing to give him in return honestly. I've watched it three times and cried just as hard each time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh7icqR9zEY. I'm really glad to have seen this going into the Christmas season, thanks Moriah!
