THE LADIES PREPARE THE BODY OF JESUS FOR BURIAL ~ AMEN
GOOD ? What's good about it ~ JESUS IS DEAD !
ON A CROSS ! ~ absurd ~ humiliating
ONE of the most grotesque methods of execution.
TO DIE on a Cross ~ was a curse ~ a very sad end !
FLED ? YES the Disciples all ran away
REALLY SCARED ~ that they'd also be crucified
I DON'T KNOW ~ what I would do ~ but JOHN
DECIDED to bravely stand at the Cross
AND JESUS said "John please look after my MUM"
YELLED OUT "DAD I have done it !" Then He died.
NEVER was the death of ONE MAN so important
EVENTS happened ~ The SUN switched off !
WOMEN took charge ~ Laid His body in a cool ......
SEPULCHRE ~ The whole World held its breath ~ What next ?
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Easter Love BRIAN
HE died that we might be forgiven
HE died to make us good
That we might have a place in HEAVEN
Saved by His precious blood !

We know He will rise again. God Bless you Brian.
Thanks BROTHER ~ The unfolding "Drama of Redemption" Incarnation ~ Crucifixion ~ Ressurection ~ Ascension to God's right hand.. ~ Our Eternal Representative in Heaven ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN
Great write Brian
Thanks MICHAEL ~ I wanted to tell it "Like it was !" Do you like the contemporary visual ~ I think it is more realistic than medieval art ! Yours BRIAN PS I don't think you recycle ~ just my poetic licence ~ B.
I have to say I do prefer the more contemporary. The old masters were breaking new ground and presenting images never before contemplated or envisaged but were of their time - like all things art has moved on since then. Not sure who the artist is but a bit like Chagall or one of his contemporaries.
A timely and memorable reminder of this very special Celebration. Thanks for sharing the preliminaries to this very good news Brian.
THANKS FAY ~ The Easter period is indeed a very important part o the Unfolding drama of Redemption ! Yours B.
I feel the anger and frustration of the way in which he died in the poem Brian. Thanks for reminding us of how fortunate we are on this Good Friday.
Yes HONEY ~ as Christians we seek to understand THEOLOGICALLY to comprehend GOD's WAY of REDEMPTION ~ we might of chosen the LAW or GOOD WORKS but GOD chose GRACE ~ God's Redemption At Christ's Expense. Without the shedding of Blood ~ there can be no Redemption and John the Baptist ~ when he saw JESUS said "Behold te Lamb of God ~ who takes away the sin of the whole World. By Faith I accept God's Way of Salvation and by Faith in the shed blood of JESUS I have been SAVED ~ AMEN Hugs in the Spirit ~ BRIAN
Well written and expressed Great write
THANKS TONY ~ Pleased you liked it ~ BRIAN
Welcome
Wonderful write, without any 'religiosity'. Is that a word?! lol.
I tend to like ye olden art, and more contemporary. I like the part-faces shown in this. I don't like ones where face or eyes are smudged out on purpose though. I see the acrostic too!
Thanks "O" your comments are always savoured with salt ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN
