WHEN YOU LOOKED OUT FROM CALVARY

That Almighty God loved us so much, He wrapped Himself in flesh and came down upon this earth so that all men could receive the Gift of Eternal Life...this, in and of itself, is an unsurpassed 'Profound Miracle'. It is a Miracle that only our Great Jehovah, who '...created the heavens and the earth and all that in them is...", could have done! For He is God and God alone and absolutely 'NOTHING' is impossible for Him...He can do 'all' things! But do you know what really astounds me...what really floors me and sometimes sends me into an ecstatic jubilant frenzy? It's the fact that...He did it...for me. Yes, to really appreciate what Calvary was all about, each and every one of us has to get 'personal' about it! If we do not grasp this marvelous revelation, we can get 'lost' in the 'crowd'. We will easily take God's 'Magnificent, Miraculous Sacrifice' for granted and we will find ourselves nonchalantly acknowledging the greatest demonstration of Power and Might that this world has ever, or will ever see. We will be drawn into a 'nothing new about that' syndrome, and in response to His unending Sacrificial Gift we'll say, "...yes, yes... I know, I know...He died for me...but then, He died for us all...He died for the whole world." And a statement such as this is true because he did die for us all but, He died for us all 'individually'. And by that I mean, that had 'you' been the only person on the face of the earth...He would have still gone to Calvary... just for 'you'! He saw 'you'! Back there as He hung on Calvary...He saw 'you'! He knew your name, He knew when and where you would be born, He knew how you'd look, He knew your likes and dislikes, He knew your strengths and your weaknesses, He knew your cares and your woes. He knew your joys, your heartaches and your pains. He knew your sins, and yes...He knew how much you would 'need' the Perfect Lamb's Cleansing Blood that would 'never' cease to flow. He could have chosen to have never gone to the cross but...He Loved...'you'. He could have come down from the cross...but...He Loved...'you'. Claim it! His eyes saw (your name)...when He looked out from Calvary!


Poem Artwork

You foreknew the confusion

and sometimes deep despair

When long ago You were sacrificed

for past and future years 

Your eyes saw me...

When You looked out from Calvary! 

You hung there by choice

bearing the shame

Filled with love, You accepted

the injustice of false blames 

Your eyes saw me...

When You looked out from Calvary! 

Though I know I'm not the only one

You, the Magnificent, God's only Son

...would not have deterred had I been

You'd...still...endure the agony for my sins 

Your eyes saw me...

When You looked out from Calvary! 

 I know... on the Blessed Shores

one day I shall stand

Beholding ...You...

the Glory of Beulah Land

Wrapped in Your Splendor of Victory

...I'll join in the Holy Revelry!

And all because...Your eyes saw me...

When You looked out from Calvary!

 

 

Jhn 3:16, Rom 5:8, Jhn 10:15

a very personal poem that takes us by the hand, and leads us one by one, right into those hours when Jesus was suspended from that cross. When You Looked Out From Calvary, puts me right into this historical event, and I am struck by the significance of why He did it.
Thanks Joyce! This is a worshipful write.
