The Radical Acceptance of Reality

Jesus shows us what radical acceptance looks like of the cross, even if it crushes me. Jesus accepts both Palm Sunday and Good Friday. Only when I have voluntarily and radically accepted all of life can I finally engage with all of life. If we do this, if you do this, it may devastate you. That's just the truth. But with Jesus, it won't be the end of you. With Jesus, it will change you. He is with you. You're not abandoned. You're with the God who loves you. And that love is just as real as the pain.
