Jesus Christ

Can I offer Him as not the word for the day, but the Word for all time?

John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.


You see, when God wanted to communicate to humanity, he came himself, in the person of the one we call Jesus Christ today. He showed us love, showed us grace, showed us holiness. Then he died. Easter is coming soon. Please consider looking into the Christian meaning of the season, not the story, but what the story tells us. His love and death was for a reason. He didn't die to write a good tragic story for us. The resurrection didn't happen just so we could have a cool ending to the story.

Sacrifice.
Justice.
Penalty.
Redemption.

hang on, believe
there's nothing up my sleeve
i've got no magic tricks to save the day
put down the gun
you're not helping anyone
and i'm not about to run or back away

don't walk the fence
then come to my defense
i don't need fair weather kinds of friends around
so watch and pray
as a traitor's kiss betrays
and rest your feet of clay on shaky ground

chorus
and look me in the face, at least what's left of it
tell me you still love me just a little bit
or nail me down, break the skin
hard enough to do me in
but don't leave me hanging
dying and dangling
twisting in the wind

here, touch my side
let doubt be crucified
nailed with your wounded pride
to love's grim altar
here, taste my flesh
my bloody humanness
i am no phantom guest
no skinless martyr

so taste and feel
there's nothing to conceal
you always knew the deal
was sacrifice
stand up, be strong
when all you've got is gone
i left the light turned on in paradise

chorus

and when the walls cave in
and the curtain's torn asunder
you'll know we're near the end
you'll hear me in the thunder
and when the sun grows dim
this will be your sign and wonder
that soon we'll meet again
just like we did last summer
