It Is Finished

The jeering of the crowd was mixed;

Egged on by voices that wanted him dead.

Carrying a cross after a beating,

Mocked with a crown of thornes.

 

Barely able to carry the cross,

As his strength wained from loss of blood.

Simon was summened to help him

Lest Christ die on the way to Golgata.

 

They laid him on the cross

A spread his arms apart.

They hammered nails in hands and feet,

Then raised him on the cross.

 

The good thief beside him,

Said, remember me in your kingdom.

Christ said this day you shall be in paradise

And uttered the words, I thirst.

 

Before his last breath was upon him,

He told John to look after Mary.

And then he spoke his last words,

It is finished, and he was dead.

While He prayed in the garden before his betrayal, He could have run but instead accepted the "cup" from His Father and took our sins upon Himself and died for them and then rose!! He rose from the dead! Through death He conquered death. Very apt time of the year for this story to be told, George.

Love ya!

A sad story as so many truly have done this
in deed and words to many another not in the physical
sense, but in the spoken word... He was a spiritual man
who only wished to express love and forgiveness and care
for others...

Thank you for these expressions...

Love and Light
Lily
