I do believe in my heart, she would have taken his place if she could have. What mother wouldn't want to spare their child from this? I admire the strength she found in God. I admire her selfless act of love in spite of knowing she would lose her son here on earth. To know that she would never see her son marry and have children of his own. I admire her for paving the way for future mothers to be able to let go and allow God's destiny for their children's lives to be as God planned.
To say that I am thankful and grateful for this beautiful man to take my place upon that cross and to bear all my sins is an understatement. There are not enough life times for me to love and cherish, worship, honor and serve my Savior.
The one who came to die for me, the one that suffered a death like no other, the one who's love was and is so great that we can never grasp it's fullness in our natural minds.
