I was looking for a music video to accompany my next blog. It was suppose to be about Jesus washing his disciples' feet. This is the message I have received in my email from the daily devotional. I already had a specific song in mind when I stumbled upon this music video. I was so caught up with the dramatic presentation and the lyrics of the song. I guess this is what you call divine assistance because somehow it would still relate to Jesus' loving gesture of washing his disciples' feet.
Jesus who was God chose to humble himself and serve mankind by offering his life to take man's place in suffering the consequences of sin. He could have just destroyed us all and created another set of creatures that he could love and cherish. But he did not. His love for man was so great that he would rather die than see them suffer the consequences of their wickedness.
I was reminded of our high school musical as I watched this video. It was the story of the centurion who made the choice to live for Jesus not for the miracles he had seen Jesus do but for the love he showed him through his death on the cross. The song in the play echoes in my head.
"I choose Jesus. Not for miracles but for loving me. Not for Bethlehem but for Calvary."
