(Reposted for Easter)

Yesterday was the darkest day

The world has ever seen.

The day when Governor Pilate asked,

"Shall I crucify your King?"

"Crucify Him! Crucify Him!"

Came the shout from all the Jews.

The Lamb of God, the Blameless One,

Charged falsely beneath the light of moon.

"Do it yourselves!" Came Pilate's reply,

"For I find no fault in Him."

So the Jews took the Messiah to be crucified,

With brutal hatred agin.

And there He hung upon that cross,

Blameless, Innocent, Perfect.

Died because of my selfish sin,

I am the one that was worthless.

For three days in the tomb He lay,

But nay, He had not been defeated.

For in His triumph, He rose again

And said, "My child, you are forgiven."

( “And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.”

‭‭ ~Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬-‭14‬

Happy Easter, friends. He is risen! Praise God for His infinite, merciful love! 🥹🙌🏻🤍)
