"When most of us think about the cross, we picture it from a distance.
We see the scene... the crowd... the soldiers... the hill... the suffering.
But we never stop long enough to ask the deeper question:
What did the cross look like through Jesus' eyes?"

Because if we could see what he saw... if we could feel what he felt... or understand what Jesus understood...
Then the cross would stop being a symbol we admire, and it will become a reality that transforms us.

This series is about stepping into that moment- not as spectators, or historians, or theologians, but as someone who wants to understand the heart of the one who hung there.

Here is what I am praying will happen over these next few weeks
I want the cross to become real to you, I want Jesus' sacrifice to become personal to you, and I want his love to become undeniable to you.

What I want you to take away with you is:
A deeper faith, A clearer purpose, a fuller understanding of what Jesus accomplished, and a renewed gratitude for the one who gave everything.

But before I talk about that purpose...
Before I talk about meaning... or the victory... We have to start where Jesus started. We have to start in the dark. Because the cross doesn't begin with triumph - it began with faith.
Not the faith of miracles.
Not the faith of the crowds.
Not the faith of celebration.

But the faith of Jesus our savior hanging on a tree, alone, lonely, abandoned, surrounded by enemies, betrayed and deserted by friends, and yet He still chose to trust the Father.

If you want to understand the cross through Jesus eyes, you have to understand his faith. so today I want to begin with this truth.
*FAITH IS NOT PROVEN IN THE LIGHT- faith is proven in the dark.*
On the cross, Jesus showed us what faith looks like when everything else is stripped away.

We are going to look at what lead Jesus to the cross, what kept him on the cross, the purpose of the cross, the results of the cross. I wanna look at it from different perspectives the physical view, the human experience, the purpose view, the spiritual view, the emotional view. we are going to look at Jesus' feelings and what He was. It's going to be a great ride. Oh, almost forgot I want to do it from the first person. I want you to feel like you are walking with Jesus as this all occurs. Up close and personal, so buckle up.

How y'all doing tonight? I was listening to our favorite cd on the way home like I always do, it's one of those cd's that gets better every time you listen to it. It's a Christian cd by some friends of ours Joshua and Ciara Pierson, you can find them on Facebook. Anyway, one of the songs on the cd is called "From the Cross" (Don't tell anyone but my favorite song is the building). Anyway, let me get back to the cross, it's a song about Jesus on the Cross, and don't go saying great another song about the cross. What sets this song apart from the others is, it isn't just looking at the cross, from your perspective. No, the view from the cross is through the eyes of Jesus. I can't tell you how many nights I've thought about that song and wondered. What did Jesus really see from the cross? What was he feeling? Why did he do it? What was he hoping to accomplish? Was he afraid?
The more I thought about Him on the cross, the more I knew I had to write about it. So, I'm going to start a teaching series on the cross from Jesus' view, I wanted to use "From the Cross through the eyes of the Son of God" but that was already taken...lol
Each section will be 5-10 minutes long. When you think about Jesus hanging on the cross, you are stepping into one of the most intense moments in all of Christian history. Physically, Spiritually, and Emotionally, and I want to cover all of these, the human experience, the spiritual side and the emotional side. But I want to show it to you from Jesus' perspective, I want you to experience what he experienced, feel what he felt, see what he saw. I don't want you on the outside looking in, I want you on the inside looking out. I promise you won't be disappointed. So tomorrow a little foundational setting then we get started. So please join me, and if you like what you hear then please follow this ministry and God Bless.

The biggest thank you goes to God for allowing us the privilege and opportunity to be his servants and for bringing us the people to serve.

We had such a great time feeding people in the park today. There were more people than food, but that was okay- no one seemed to mind. We end up having church right there in the park.

As we were serving people, we had a mother and daughter show up and asked if they could help, they had made some lunches and wanted to give them out. But the moment that really blew me away was when we had completely run out of food. A lady pulled up, and honestly, I thought she was about to complain about us being there feeding people. Instead, she got out of the car and said, "Can I leave this with you?" She gave us a case of water and a bunch of snacks, and it came at a perfect time. It let us stay longer, talk to everyone, and minister to them.

We fed fifty people today and passed out 11 bibles, plus tents and tarps, clothes. And got a big list for shoes and socks and sleeping bags for next week, definitely going to be relying on God to provide this week. Watching God provide with random people, just showing up with food to help just at the right minute. I have no doubt he will come through next week. I kind of felt like Elijah being feed by the ravens - God providing right when we needed it. I loved just hanging out with everyone, listening to them laugh and talk and tell stories, and we even saw a few old friends, and got updates on others.

It was an awesome day. God is good.

CHANGING THE WORLD WITH A SANDWHICH, AN APPLE, AND A BOTTLE OF WATER.

Sometimes changing the world looks like a scientific breakthrough, a global summit, an act of congress. And sometimes - most of the time - it looks like you standing in the park with a cooler full of lunches, realizing you definitely should've made more sandwiches.

There is something beautifully human about that moment when you think you've planned enough...and then the need shows up bigger that your grocery list. You look around and see more face than food, more hunger than you expected and more opportunity to love than you thought you would be responsible for today.

And yet, somehow, it works.

Because giving isn't about having everything. It's about offering something.
A sandwich,
An apple, A bottle of water.
And a smile that says, "you matter."

What we handed out might not have been a five-course meal, but it was a five-star moment of connection. People laughed, talked, shared stories, and for a little while, a simple lunch became a reminder that kindness is still alive and kicking.

And let's be honest - there's always that one person that shows up and says, "Y'all got any extra?" You want to say "Friend, we barely had enough for the people we planned for." But instead, you dig around the bag like a magician pulling rabbits out of a hat, hoping a miracle sandwich appears.

That's the beauty of serving.
It stretches you,
It surprises you,
It humbles you.
It reminds you that the world doesn't change through grand gestures- it changes through consistent, ordinary acts of love.

So, yes, we fed everyone we could. And yes, the need was bigger than the food. But that just means the mission isn't over. It means there is more work to do, more people to reach and more sandwiched to make.

If changing the world really can start with something as small as a sandwich, and apple and a bottle of water- imagine what happens when we keep going.
