Easter vs the cross ...

The face that Moses had begged to see - was forbidden to see - is now slapped bloody. The thorns that God had sent to curse earth's rebellion now twisted around His own brow,in the skull............ "On your back with you", the soldier raises the huge hammer to hit the big nail into the Hands that had performed miracles the world has ever witnessed. But the soldier's heart must continue pumping as he readies his wrist. Someone must sustain the soldier's life minute by minute,for no man has life on his own, it's the One he is nailing that sustains his breathe. & brings life to his lungs every second. But the victim wills that the soldier lives on - He grants the soldier continued existence. Off the soilder goes and hits the Lord of All .
As the soldier swings,the SON recalls how He and the Father first designed the medical nerves of the human forearm - the sensations it would be capable of. The design proves flawless - the nerves perfom exquisitely. "Up you go", they lift the cross and God is on display almost without any cloth on Him and can scarcely breathe. But these pains are just a mere warm-up to His and other growing dread. He begins to feel a foreign sensation. An unearthly foul odor begins to waft, not around His nose but at around His heart. He FEELS dirty. Human wickedness begins to craw upon His spotless being - the living excrement from our souls. He must face His father like this. The roar of the Father shakens the unseen world and darkens the visible sky.
" Son of Man, why have you behaved so? You have cheated, lusted, stolen, gossiped, envied, cursed, fornicated, blasphemed, belittled My Name,? Does the list ever end? Raping virgins, causing hatred, buying politics, practising exhortation, filming pornography, worshiping demons!?"
Of course the Son is innocent. He is the word blameless itself. But the divine have an agreement, and the unthinkable must now take place, who can understand it? Jesus will be pesonally treated as if He is responsible for EVERY SIN EVER COMMITED.
The Father watches as His heart's treasure , the mirror-image of Himself, sinks drowing into raw-liquid sin. Jehovah's stored rage against humankind from every century and generation explodes in a single direction. "Father !Father! Why have You forsaken me?" But heaven stops its ears. The Son stares up at the One who cannot, who will not reach down or reply.
The Trinity had planned it - the Son endured it, the Spirit enabled Him and the Father rejected the Son whom he loved. Jesus the God-man of Nazareth, perished. The Father accepted His sacrifce fo sin and was satisfied. The great rescue of mankind was accomplished. Easter is almost over just before the feasting devil and his demons insult God & claim victory. The God son has just risen!!! The greatest change science can never explain has now taken place. Will the devil and his demons ever like Easter? This is where our ground is. The Lamb of God is RISEN and it's not Easter day that we celebrate, we don't mind when but the resurrection sums it all. He is sitted at the right hand of the Father, again spotless, and has given sacrifice once and for all, for you and me and never will be at the cross again. Death has lost its victory ...
That's a glimpse of what happened on the cross, on a day we ignorantly call Easter. Reflect on His death & celebrate His resurrection!
