On This Day

On this day,


a life was lost.


On a rocky hill,


on a wooden cross.


 


The earth quaked


and the heavens shook;


Did anyone notice?


Did anyone look?


 


A temple fell,


 It was rendered asunder.  Lightening streaked and the sky boomed thunder.


Far above and beyond the skies; pride, joy and sorrow join as heaven sighs.


Oh what sorrow must have been felt; what a horrible hand, to your Son, have dealt.


No greater gift, his only begotten Son; our salvation was granted where there could


have been none.


 


Upon the earth,


No darker day.


He came because


He had to, to


Show us the way.


 


Even his life could


End but in death.


But the miracle


Unfolds at the


Very next step.


 


Such a horrible


Deed, it had to


Be done.  For


In such a death


Our victory


Was won.

"But the miracle

Yes indeed Jeff ... His resurrection is what gives all men, who believe, a future in Him. And what an incredible future it will be. Poignantly penned. Welcome back!

Light and Wisdom ...
