Did You Cry

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 +

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!
