EASTER WEEK.
When JESUS arrives on a donkey,
to walk to the CROSS.
But it all began the moment JESUS let out HIS first cry
when HE met Mary and Joseph.
And then it happened.
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE CROSS.
THE CROSS
that was HIS DESTINY
from the moment HE was born,
for that is why HE was born.
For GOD made a PROMISE in the
GARDEN
and
GOD ALWAYS KEEPS HIS PROMISES.
For HE
took out
HIS knife
and stands before the tree,
THE APPLE TREE.
And starts whittling.
HE starts at the base and works HIS way up,
as HE is removing everything that does not belong.
HE is removing EVERYTHING.
From the bark, to the leaves,
to get to the CORE~
THE HEART of the TREE.
And there it stood,
What once was a TREE is now a CROSS,
that GOD had whittled to lay HIS SON.
IT IS FINISHED!
Oh the
CREATOR
then looks at HIS CREATIONS
with tears in HIS eyes
because
of HIS CREATIONS
who ate from the TREE that HE told them not to,
and now this had to happen.
The TREE had to come down,
so the CROSS could go up.
HIS SON had to COME DOWN
from HIS HEAVENLY HOME,
so that EVERYONE could go
UP
to their HEAVENLY HOME
from where they came from the
very BEGINNING.
And who are the
EVERYONE?
You, and me, and everyone else.
All who GOD called into existence.
And then the time came.
HIS SON laid on the CROSS.
The hammer rose.
The nails where hammered.
The CROSS stood like a TREE,
and then the words where cried out,
IT IS FINISHED.
HIS work completed.
THE CROSS and the TREE.
THE CROSS is where JESUS became LESS,
so HE could become your MORE,
because
THE CROSS is where you become LESS,
as you surrender all that is weighing you down
to make room for HIS MORE.
THE CROSS is a dead TREE
that hung the ONE who died
to give us LIFE,
THE ABUNDANT LIFE
in the here and now on your way to FOREVER.
THE CROSS is where you die in order to LIVE.
For this is GOD'S WILL for your LIFE,
because you are GOD'S WILL.
Born on Purpose and Die on Purpose
IN CHRIST.
It started on a TREE.
It ended on a TREE.
So that we live FOREVER~
"For GOD so loved the world that HE sent HIS ONE & ONLY SON, that whoever BELIEVES IN HIM shall never PERISH
and have ETERNAL LIFE" (John 3:16).
All because
JESUS took the walk from
THE CRADLE TO
"THE WONDERFUL CROSS"
