He Grew the Tree

I heard this song on the radio as I was driving around town the other day. As I listened to it I began thinking of the "me first" mentality of our society. I know it makes me sound old (and I'm getting there) to say "these days," but it's true. I had experienced 3 times that day someone pulling out in front of me to save a couple of seconds on their trip to wherever they were going, causing great possibility of danger to me and to themselves - and the fact that there was nobody behind me each time only aggravated me more, since they could have safely gone right after me and used only a couple more seconds. But I rant. The thing that struck me in this song was that Jesus thought nothing about Himself when He died for our sins. He even grew the tree that was to become His cross. Please take a few minutes to absorb the idea as this song plays.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
