It's good Friday.
He was tried.
He was declared not guilty
three times.
And yet the crowds cried,
"Kill him, kill him!"
The voices of the crowd won.
The judge gave in.
Lashes to his back.
Mocked by the guards.
Beaten mercilessly.
Spit on.
Executed in the cruelest way possible.
A slow death for everyone to watch.
There he hung.
Naked.
Shamed.
Laughed at.
Abandoned.
Alone....
The only sinless man
dying for the sins of all.
The perfect Son
obeying the plan of God
for the redemption
of a fallen race.
On that day God
was satisfied.
The debt was paid.
We were redeemed!
What a terrible glorious day.
