Ain't it crazy What's revealed When you're not looking all that close?Ain't it crazy How we put to death The ones we need the most?I know I'm not a martyrI've never died for anyone but meThe last frontier is onlyThe stranger in the mirror that I seeBut when I least expect itHere and there I see my Savior's faceHe's still my favorite loserFalling for the entire human race -Over the Rhine
"Jesus in New Orleans"
Jesus fell for us...fell all the way from heaven for us. Us. The unlovable. We are the winners because He became the ultimate loser.
The greatest idea of all time became the greatest plan of all time became the greatest sacrifice ever made - and it was all for us. Not because we are lovable or worthy of salvation, but because He is Love and Grace. God looked at our suffering and purposed to give us an eternity of joy if we would just believe in him.
"Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors."
-William P. Young

Yes. This is so true. And therefore, we must always be THANKFUL to Him. To Him who saved us all.
