The Good Of Golgotha

orchidee



Tune: Horsley

('There is a green hill far away')

John 19 v.16-22

*******

Jesus given to the people

'Crucify' was their call

He bearing His cross went to place

To die for human race

 

The place of a skull, so its name

Golgotha be the same

There they crucified Him and two

Thieves put to death there too

 

Jesus in the midst of them there

Pilate, he did declare

In Hebrew, Greek, Latin, wrote sign

That all could read clear, fine

 

He wrote, 'Jesus of Nazareth

The King of the Jews,' saith

This sign, and it not altered, for

The words they remained sure

 

He fulfilling each prophecy

How Scriptures said would be

Obtaining for us salvation

Suffered, died, rose again

      Thank you SB.

      A great write highlighting why Good Friday is actually "good". Also, love the alliteration in the title. It rings so perfectly and yet is counter to what one might think of "Golgotha" should they know it. Well done, Orchi! 🌹👏

          “Good Friday” can be interpreted in a few ways. It is a great day for our salvation, in my mind. Jesus taught, suffered, died, rose and saved many souls.

          I hope you have a blessed Easter GPD!

              Thanks Dave. Ahh - the days of the week can be a bit involved, with Jewish day running from sunset to sunset. So they start their days by going to bed. So do I - no change there then! lol.

                You are a survivalist, Orchi. Easter will not defeat you.
