Freaky Friday

Last Saturday, I watched the movie "Freaky Friday." It is a great movie about a mother and daughter switching bodies and finding out just how difficult each other's lives are. Another Disney movie I have been forcibly compulsed to go to because of their constant advertising for whatever their current movie is. It was a great movie, thouhgh. I started to think about something...what would happen if, during Jesus' time here, he and someone traded places somehow and that person had to face life as Jesus. What if it was their job, instead, to be a teacher and a healer? What if they were under constant scrutiny by the public? What if Jesus had to live with our past? What if he had to suffer for it? What if that change was permanent? One Freaky Friday, or Good Friday as most of us refer to it, that very thing happened. Jesus suffered for our sins, and we received the gift of the Holy Spirit if we accept the switch. Also just like the movie, the earth shook to signal that the change was imminent. We now have no blame for our sins, but it is up to us to tell God's good news to the world and pray and heal. It is us now under public scrutiny. We no longer have to fear wrath over our sins because that exchange is permanent. That is one window to look through when you look at the verse:

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

Galatians 2:20

In other news, I finally got all my stuff moved in. Click to see a picture of it- that's as neat as it will be this semester, but it's just beautiful! If you're wondering about that pair of pants hanging on the side of my bed...it's my PANT-try. There you'll find many foods including peanut butter and cereal. I can't believe I found a place for everything. As soon as I get to work on something, it will start to fall apart. Luckily, I still will have a place for everything when it is time to rearrange - which is most important. I'm happy. I haven't even posted for a full week. I can't wait for this campus to be full of people once again... That's all I have to say for now.
