THE TRIUMPH OF GOD AND LOVE=

Over the Cross!

 

On Good Friday=WE WITNESSED a horrible  crucifixion=But the EVER ENDURING LOVE=

Of the PERFECT=Son  of God=PREVAILS through the AGONY of the Cross

We WITNESSED=The TRIUMPH of Jesus=THE TRIUMPH of LOVE=On the cross=

“CARRYING his own cross=He went out=To the place of the skull=(Which in Aramaic is

Called Golgotha)=There they CRUCIFIED him=with two others=--------On each side  and=

Jesus in the middle”                                                                                                                                        John 19:17-18

HE PROMISED eternal life=To the GOOD THIEF=Talk about=THE TRIUMPH OF  LOVE=On

The Cross=and THE BEST=Was still yet to come=IN THE RESURRECTION=THE ULTIMATE TRIUMPH=

“Your gates=Will always stand open=They will never be shut=Day or night=So that people may

BRING you=The wealth of the nations=--------Their kings led in

TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION”                                                                                                              Isaiah 60:11

“But thanks be to God=Who always leads us as captives=IN CHRIST’S TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION=

And uses us to=Spread the aroma=Of the knowledge of him everywhere”         2 Corinthians 2:14

“And having disarmed=The powers=and authorities=He made a public spectacle of them=

TRIUMPHING over them by the CROSS”                                                                                   Colossians 2:15

 

These are THE TRIUMPHS=We celebrate=Particularly the VICTORY of LIFE over death=Of

LOVE over hate=and the VICTORY Paul tells us about in 1 Corinthians 13:7=”LOVE always protects=

“But thanks be to God=He gives us=THE VICTORY=

Through our Lord Jesus Christ”                                                                                                 1  Corinthians 15:57

Of our lives

“Forever Alive”                                             

 

Good Friday is death

Good Friday is

The lowest of the low

 

Good Friday

Is desolation

Good Friday

Is the loss of all hope

 

But Good Friday

Is followed by Easter

 

And with Easter comes

The hope

Of all we can be

The hope

Of all we can see

 

With Easter

Comes the hope in others

With Easter

Comes the hope in ourselves

With Easter

Comes the hope

Of our Redemption

 

All because

Of one man

All because

One man

Gave up his life for us

 

With Easter

Comes the hope

Of life

With Easter

Comes the hope

The hope of love

 

Easter means

Forever Alive

WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED THE CROSS?=HAPPY EASTER!

WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED THE CROSS?

HAPPY EASTER!

 

 

In Jesus’ day

The cross was the means

Of capitol punishment

Much like

The electric chair

Or lethal injection

Is today

 

In today’s times

It is anything and everything

That separates us from God

 

And just as Jesus had to physically

Carry his wooden cross

As a condemned person

Wrongfully sentenced to death

 

We have to carry our crosses

Rightfully or wrongfully through life

 

And the best way

To carry our crosses in life

Is by uniting our suffering with Jesus

 

Jesus said

 

“If anyone would

Come after me

He must deny himself

And take up his cross

And follow me

 

For whoever

Wants to save his life

Will lose it

And whoever loses his life

For me

And my Gospel

Will save it”                                                                                               Mark 8:34-35

 

Jesus’ wooden cross

Was heavy

It led to his physical death

 

But because he was an innocent man

AND GOD’S SON

God raised him from the dead

 

Our crosses in life

Are heavy too

 

OUR CROSSES of physical illness

OUR CROSSES of financial obligations

OUR CROSSES of broken physical relationships

And our crosses

Of physical addictions

Our own temptations

And our own sin

 

But by

UNITING our crosses with Christ’s

They can become

Just a little lighter

A little easier to carry

 

“Come to me

ALL you who are weary

And burdened

And I will give you rest

 

Take my yoke upon you

And learn from me

For I am gentle

And humble in heart

And you will find rest

For your souls

 

For my yoke is easy

And my burden is light”                                                              Matthew 11:28-30

 

Make no mistake

OUR CROSSES in this life

ARE HEAVY

 

But by uniting

OUR LIVES with Christ

The burden is lighter

 

And like Christ

Who rose from the dead

We can RISE ABOVE our crosses

In this life

 

To live a FAITH-FILLED life

IN GOD AND IN CHRIST

 

By uniting our crosses

To Christ

We can rise above our crosses

In life-and live

 

                                 RESURRECTED LIVES

 

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

I FORGOT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

APRIL 3rd, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I FORGOT

 

 

 

 

 

The other night

I had a dream

The dream was about

My worst sin

 

In my dream

I was

Trying to talk to Jesus

 

I kept running

In to Saint Peter

I kept

Running into

All the other Saints

 

Finally one day

St. Peter whispered into my ear

St. Peter said

Jesus said to tell you

“I forgot”

 

That’s our God

He knows all things

He forgave me

Without my even

Having to ask

 

That’s our God

The merciful God

That’s our God

The forgiving God

That’s our God

The loving God

 

That’s our God

Couldn’t we pass

That forgiveness on

To someone else

A WALK TO REMEMBER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A WALK TO REMEMBER

 

 

 

 

Would you take a walk with me

A walk to remember

 

As we begin Holy Week

I want to ask you

Would you take a walk with me

 

I promise you

It is

 

A walk to remember

 

Over there

Is where Jesus took

Peter, James, and John with him

To Gethsemane to pray

 

He told them,

“Keep watch and pray

That you will not fall into temptation”                                      Mark14:32

 

He asked them “to keep watch”

With him

As he was beginning to face

The hour of his death

 

They fell asleep--3 times

 

Their spirit was willing

But their flesh was weak

 

The Son of God

Became mocked-ridiculed-and brutally tortured

ALL ALONE                                                                           John 19:1

 

Let us ask the LORD OUR GOD

To ACCEPT sufferings

As his Son Jesus did

 

A God of humility

A walk to remember

 

The soldiers made him

A crown of thorns

They beat him—spat on him

And mockingly fell to their knees                                      Mark 15:17-19

 

A walk through history

A walk to remember

 

A WALK TO REMEMBER

 

Jesus carried his cross

To “the place of the skull”—Golgotha

Where he was crucified                                                John 19:18

 

Dear Lord—we pray

For the gift of patience

To ACCEPT the sufferings in our life

And ENDURE our trials

As you—in fact did

 

A walk to remember

 

At 3 o’clock

Jesus cried out,

“My God, my God why did you abandon me”                         Mark 15:34

 

With that—JESUS died

 

The curtain of the Temple

Became torn from top to bottom

And a man—a centurion said,

“Surely—this man

Was really the Son of God”                                                        Mark 15:39

 

A walk through time

A walk through history

 

A WALK TO REMEMBER
