By
far the most important event. An advent in history to have ever been recorded
and documented since human existence. An experience that will be taped on the
lips and tongues of the many generations that is to come. Prophesies which
claimed its occurrence will be fulfilled and at the perfect time. A weekend
that will later split time into BC and AD, calibrate the future into calendars
and seasons of worship and celebrations. A conscious belief to these events
biblically redefines your entire existence.
The
hour where darkness reign, that in a split time sessions of 90 minutes the Son
of man will be wrongfully charged, tortured, tried and finally slain for my
righteousness sake.
The
33 years old man will be condemned on counts of blasphemy, without cause or
just for crimes He never committed but convicted to death by crucifixion.
Crucifixion,
that which will be the most evil act of man has proven of God’s love for
mankind.
The
brutality, the agony and shame He suffered, but for the passion in His eyes
will be lead like a lamb to be slaughted.
Cruelty
will be at its peak, excruciating pain at its peak, the pain He bore, through
tendons and pulse, bruises and sours created within deep and flawed, insults
upon Him heaped, the crown of thorns that pierced deep and all, the veil He tore
proclaiming the son of God and for this He was born…to die.
Death,
the bridge, death the separation, death the rift, the thin line between
atonement and eternity. For my sins the
robes that clothed His soul, He bled streams of mercy from his side flows. See
the entire weight of a fully grown man pecked by three large sharp nails of old.
So low the King stood and yet, the grave could not withhold sincere but bold,
injustice so cold. He held both souls
and I’m told the third day He arose paying in full, He stood through it all
firm and steadfast; He paved way for my redemption, my freedom.
How
amazing that a bunch of misfits and fishermen will fall into the company of the
leadership of a mere carpenter to change the cause of humanity.
So
everything is back to normal
All
the programmes have been performed
The
holidays have come and gone
The
big dinners have been served and eaten
Layers
can have the rest of their eggs back to hatch
There’s
a call from the office
The
kids have school
There’s
not much food in stock, and the fridge is empty
The
economy is back on trying times
With
Unemployment and strike actions soaring so high
Stocks
keep going up and down
Bills
and depth to pay
Targets
and deadlines are to be reached
The
news on TV still blares the future
And
you know, life still goes on but it’s as if Easter never happened.
But
it did, take a good look around, the church is ever increasing with lost souls
and broken hearts because hope has come and forgiveness has been made manifest
to a world looking for peace and love.
For
God gave us His Son, for a son who gave us His life to add us to His family so
that one day, He will welcome us home to a place He has prepared for us.
Just
remember, that Easter really did happen and it changed everything.
