Jesus
Though was nailed to a cross by men to blind to see
and to deaf to hear, He was about and beyond it. His being surpassed
this figure of two boards layed over each other. His glory and
awesomeness is not justified by words spoken or written, it is even to
great to be caught by even the biggest imagination. Though He was
pierced by thorns, nails and a spear by men so weak and feeble His
strength outshined the strongest redwood. His strength can't even be
matched by superman. Though hungry and tempted for many days by one who
needs no mention, the Lords will was that of the strongest armor ever
made, adn in this He shined for and glorified His father who like His
son never asked to much but always gave generously. Great is their
legacy, but even greater is thier promise that even though we can't
compare in glory, strength or will we may one day share in those with
them in glorious harmony for the rest of eternity.
The Cross
A
cross but not only a cross. A sign of lose and victory. A place of
shame and fame. A symbol of great disgrace and great honor. Jesus was
nailed upon such a cross so that he all the He had ever said would be
disgraced, and shame anyone who had followed Him and believed the word
He taught. What those who put Him there didn't know that His followers
being truely taught by the son of God did know is that through that
action they earned a great victory in the war against sin and death.
Upon crucifing Him, a famous figure and not the shameful heap of man
they wanted Him to be viewed as, Jesus became the greatest "celebrity".
This cross, which for so many years had been so feared and ran away from
became more than a cross, it became a symbol of a great victory and a
symbol for many people who followed, follow and will follow Jesus to
unit under.
That Guy
There he was towards the end of his life a bitter, worn out old
man, thinking about life and what it could have been. He now realizes
how many times he thought a decision was going to be so big and affect
his life so much ended up doing nothing for him and he also saw all
those decisions he made without thinking and how much of a lasting
impact they still have on his life. With that on his mind he wonders how
thing could have been different if he could go back and change this or
that, could he have been famous or rich or maybe happy, that thought has
tormented him in his dreams for most of the last 15 years. His mind
drifts to high school and college where the world was just waiting to
open up for him and all things were possibilities for him. He was a good
student, good at sports and decent with musical intraments, infact he
was good at most anything he tried to do and there inturn was his down
fall. Being a teenage boy good at anything he picked up led him to never
really having to push himself at a young age which inturn led to him
almost never pushing himself as an adult. Signs of this are seen all
around his house where you can see many musical intraments that had not
been played in years so long infact he probably forgot how to play them,
there is also every kind of sporting equipment packed away in his
closests some things on the verge of breaking the next time they are
moved. Looking at this stuff he wonders if he could have been truly
great at anyone of those things, because being a good student had gotten
him through college with a degree even if his GPA had been pretty low
and that degree which is now covered in dust had never really gotten him
anywhere in life not even a decent job. With that thought he sit back
down now sure that it had always been himself that sabatouged his life
and any changes he wished he could make would still have lead him to
this same spot in life, old bitter and and extremely wornout....
