Rather than stand on ground level and look up, let'sstand at the throne of God and look down. But God sees much more. He sees his Son surroundedby sin and two thieves covered with sin. A shadow hangs overtheir spirits. The crowd cringes at the sight of the blood ontheir skin, but heaven laments over the darkness of their hearts.
Earth pities the condition of their bodies.
Heaven weepsover the condition of their souls. I wonder if we can understand the impact our sin has inheaven. Their sin, excuse the phrase, madeGod want to puke. Their acts caused him, not just distaste, butdisgust. The man had stuffed tissuedown his son's T-shirt, covered the boy with lighter fluid, andset him aflame.
