Crucified Hearts

Just because religious people are the most dangerous people, the cruelest on the face of the earth– bigoted, racist, greedy, lusting, judging, condemning, proud, always pointing the finger, hypocrites, full of hatred with murderous hearts– it does not mean you cannot trust God or his love for you.

Look to Him who was crucified by his own. That’s the love you want and the mercy you need.

He can save you from them, from the devil, the world, the condemnation of the law…and even from your own sinful self.

“Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ⁠—this Jesus whom you crucified.” 

Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brethren, what shall we do?”

Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.”

And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation!”
— Acts 2:36-40
