AN: Just something I really thought some of you might want to know. I don't mean to cause any controversy. I just read it myself and it caused myself to wake up. Just thought you guys might want to inform yourselves like I did.
17 The Love of Jesus Christ
In
the very first Potter book, when the evil Lord Voldemort propelled
his death-curse against baby Harry, it bounced back, leaving a
lightning-shaped scar on the child's face. Dumbledore remarked to a
fellow wizard, "He'll have that scar forever."32 Of course,
this is pure fantasy. Outside Jerusalem, Jesus Christ was brutally
assaulted by the real Dark One, beaten by the very human beings He
came to save, and crucified on a tree. Before He took His last
breath, He experienced the full death-curse of sin–"the sin of
witchcraft" (1 Samuel 15:23), the sin of pride, the sin of seeking
power apart from the Heavenly Provider, and the sin of every other
evil thought and action.
There is only one kind of power God
wants us to experience. It's safe, friendly, and grounded in truth.
It's the very same power that motivated Jesus Christ to come down
from Heaven, to bear our sins, and to humble Himself "to the point
of death, even the death of the cross" (Philippians 2:8).
It's
the power of love–of God's infinite love for us–made known
through "the power of the Holy Spirit" (Romans 15:13) and the
tears of the Crucified One.
Our Lord Jesus Christ will forever
bear the marks of that death-curse on His forehead, hands, and feet.
He thinks you were worth the price.
