Wrestling with My Faith

He Did It for Me 

I am presently in a personal struggle misunderstanding the idea of duplicating Christ on the Cross. I always felt that when Jesus died and was victorious over death it was so that He stood alone as the last sacrifice

. This was His Holy Honor, His unique calling directly and singularly from the Holy Father Himself.

Jesus represents forgiveness and love, and He urges we seek His peace. The peace, His peace, that He alone can give. I always thought the cross was empty for this reason. 

I believe everyone speaks for their own benefit and that everyone should work out their own salvation themselves, as my granzemother often said. That is what I am doing, objectifying my beliefs by writing my present thinking here.
