Happy Cinco de Mayo.  Have a taco and remember me.  As far as the message from yesterday, I am not sure if I would have made the same decision that Jesus did.  To have all the accolades and glory in the here and now would be very tempting for me.  Especially if I knew in the next week, my life would be taken away from me in the most agonizing way.  Beatings, whippings, mocking, shame, scorn, disgrace, and tortures beyond imagining awaited Jesus.  And he knew it.  But he also knew that the only way you or I could join him in heaven and rule and reign with him was to go to the cross.  It was his love for us that drove him to make that difficult decision.  And for that I am eternally grateful!
