Despised and rejected.
Forsaken – it seemed,
even by His Father
who turned His face away,
Jesus writhed in agony,
His hands and His feet
nailed to a tree.
“They’re not worth it,”
Satan must have taunted.
“Come down from the cross.
Give them what they deserve.
Death – now
and for eternity!”
All of heaven’s armies
stood on alert – ready
to obey the Son’s command.
Would Jesus choose
to save Himself – or men?
Would He endure to the end?
Only love kept Jesus on the cross
knowing only His blood
could set men free.
“It is finished!” He shouted.
Sin and death no longer reign.
Christ has won the victory!

How blessed we are to have a Savior who took our sins upon Himself
and died on the cross in our place so that we can spend eternity with Him. There is no greater love. Happy Easter to you and your family.
