We spent the weekend reading, studying, and praying over John 17, Jesus’ final prayer before being crucified. Moments before being tortured and executed, He prays for us, not for Himself. It’s really crazy how selfless He was.
He died for my sin, even when I literally actively reject Him. And He invites us into a relationship with Him.
It was a great time, and I was really convicted of sin in a lot of ways. I loved it.

when I was reading this, I skipped a few words and thought you were right about to get crucified. never skip too many words when reading
No, I’m a Christian. That’s why I went on the retreat. But I have actively rejected Him (literally everyone on earth has either openly or subconsciously rejected God, “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” — Romans 3:23)
