Besides, when we look at how much Jesus suffered in opening his Heart to us (literally!), how can we complain (?)...especially when we deserve it, & He didn't.

When I hear "Tear your hearts, not your garments" I think it means - "be ready to give me your life, not just an outer covering"<br /><br />It's funny because if we are sick and we need an operation, we go in to see a doctor who tears us open, and we trust that he will put us back together again more heathy than we were before. But we don't trust Jesus the same way. Jesus says "you are sick, you need to be healed, I need to operate on you", but we say "no thanks, I'm fine". All the while sin is slowly killing us.<br /><br />We fear death much more than we fear sin, but because we don't fear sin and turn from it, we die.muel0341https://www.blogger.com/profile/01651146726574254543noreply@blogger.com
