Christ is not unique in that his death was politically or
religiously fueled. He is not unique in
that he was not guilty of the charges brought against him. The nature of his torture and death is not
unique. It was visited on people daily
in Jerusalem.
The unique nature of his death lies in the purveyor and purpose
of it. Foremost we did not kill
Christ. We are all guilty of the
necessity for it. As he said clearly no
one could take his life but he laid it down freely. Life is in the blood. Without blood there is not remission of
sins. God’s blood was the price for my
sin. God set himself as the price to
redeem us.
I cannot drive hard enough at what this means. Christ gave us a way to return to God. He gave us a means of redemption. He gave us escape from our own fallen
state. Every future is tied to this
event. It in the death of Christ that we
find the offering of our redemption.
That of course is not enough.
Why did it have to be
a friend?
Who chose to betray
the Lord?
Why did he use a kiss
to show them?
That's not what a kiss
is for
Only a friend can
betray a friend
A stranger has nothing
to gain
And only a friend
comes close enough
To ever cause so much
pain
And why did there have
to be thorny
Crown pressed upon His
head
It should have been
the royal one
Made of jewels and
gold instead
It had to be a crown
of thorns
Because in this life
that we live
For all who seek to
love
A thorn is all the
world has to give
And why did it have to
be
A heavy cross He was
made to bare
And why did they nail
His feet and hands
His love would have
held Him there
It was a cross for on
a cross
A thief was supposed
to pay
And Jesus had come
into the world
To steal every heart
away
Yes, Jesus had come
into the world
To steal every heart
away
Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
