Jesus did you cry
On that starless night When all your friends betrayed you Jesus did you cry When they took you down To mock you and to flay you? Did you cry As he kissed your cheek To fulfill the prophecy Were you able to remember Your final destiny? Jesus did you cry When they hung you there For all the world to see Asking to forgive The sins of all For the sake of one like me? Did you cry As you breathed your last When all your work was done When the gathering crowd grew silent In the presence of the Son? Did you know you would wake in heaven's glory Leaving all your tears behind? Were you alone and afraid of what would happen Did you know it was your time? Jesus did you cry As you entered in To eternity Were they tears of joy As you took your place Beside your Father's knee? Did you cry As you looked about To see what you had done Your blood shed on that Roman cross Was our reconciliation + Susan Beth Furst December 18, 2006 This is our hope. Eternal life with the One who created us. We were never meant to die, it wasn't in the plan. Then we screwed up. He loved us so much He came to live among us and to pay our price for our sin. He forgave us even as we spat in His face as He hung on the cross, even as we yelled crucify Him. He loved us that much. And then it was finished, The third day He rose from the dead. The tomb was empty, in spite of the Roman guard (and you didn't mess with them). His dead body was never found. But He appeared alive to his followers and many others and they believed, wouldn't you? His disciples were afraid for their lives, many wanted to kill them too, yet a few weeks later they were boldly proclaiming the Good News that Jesus was alive Jesus was the Messiah, Yeshua Ha Mashiach! You tell me, would they be willing to die to proclaim a lie? Or was this Jesus really the Son of God? He came back for you. He gives eternal life, Living water to all who seek and ask Him into their hearts. Happy Easter! He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
