"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life." (John 3: 16)
The "world" here is me. The Father loves me so much that He made Jesus Christ suffer and die for me. The afternoon vision I experienced some days ago brought the truth home. Below is the narrative:
I experienced a bizarre dream towards the end of my nap this afternoon. 2 young men were in an enclosure. Both seemed equal in terms of build. One of them ordered the other to undress completely. Then he picked up a spiked belt and started tearing into the flesh of the other man mercilessly. I woke up shaken. The question I kept asking myself is: Why did the other man not resist? I got the answer on Wednesday morning when I said the Divine Mercy Rosary glancing at the Stations of the Cross at STM BS Chapel. The man being flogged is a type of Christ. The Lamb that was led to the slaughter and did not open his mouth. The man doing the flogging is Satan, the original man of wickedness.
I understand better what Christ did for me. He took the lashes for me. Lord, I believe in you. Thank you for what you did for me.
