COME AGAIN.
Come again to the garden, in the gloom of the evening, heavy-eyed disciples, too tired to watch,
The one praying in agony of spirit, knowing this was the beginning of indescribable suffering.
Betrayed, spat on, scourged, stripped, mocked, and on his broken shredded flesh,
A rough-hewn wooden cross was laid as he stumbled towards the hill of his execution.
Come again to the cross stained with blood from his broken body,
Jesus hung in agony as he bore every possible sin this world had to offer.
As he hung there, his life’s blood pouring from his body,
Those looking on were unaware that blood was the means of their salvation.
Come again to the empty cross, heavily bloodstained with blood so freely shed,
Jesus so willingly went through the agony of knowing what it was to be separated from his Father,
As God could not look on his sin-filled body, our filthy sins, that he bore in our place.
He, who had never sinned, separated from his Father in physical and spiritual agony, hanging alone.
Come again to the tomb, where the lifeless body of Jesus was laid to rest,
Even as those who loved him wept and mourned his loss, such grief and despair,
Unable to comprehend how one who said he had come to save the world
had so quickly been put to death in the most brutal way possible!
Come again and see!!!
The empty tomb!
The stone is rolled away! No broken body!
The women came in bewilderment,
how can it be,
where has he gone?
Who has taken him away?
And then, angels proclaimed, he has risen! He is not here; he is alive!
With beating hearts,
joy spilling over,
hardly being able to believe what has happened!!
They ran to tell… he was not there!!
The Grave could not hold him. Death once and for all conquered!
JESUS IS ALIVE!
Salvation is within the reach of everyone who comes to him and loves him, and clasping his outstretched hands can take that wonderful gift of Saving Grace. Amazing Grace.
Alleluia, What a Saviour!!
Easter Blessings, my dear Friend’s Lou.
