Easter-celebration!
My Heroes
have always been cowboys and Men & Women “steel”-of-character.
Like? The Lone Ranger! Superman! Ladies & Gentlemen of WWI and WWII
generation!
Yeah! I get it! I know the Ranger
and Superman are fictional; the WW Heroes
are “old”!
I spent a lot of time in front of the
neighbor’s T.V. as a kid; we couldn’t afford our own set until I was seven;
black & white, 7”-screen, 3-channels. But---Adventure!...For a curious boy! Today, that scenario makes children
cringe, maybe even “pity” me? For me? A windfall!
And, fine Lovely-Ladies and Handsome-Gentlemen
of yesteryear, I knew personally! Wow!
These were, to a man, to a woman, Real-people! Intelligent! Honest! Honorable! Ambitious!
Today? There are still more “Good” people than there are evil miscreants but they are moderns! The elders honored Integrity! They were most Proud to “keep-their-word”!
The 50’s and 60’s were a special time Delight for kids to grow-up; at least, I
concluded such!
“Things” were pretty simple; like the citizens; things are
still “simple”---but…not the people!
“We” is
“sophisticated”!? Hmm!? Half-a mil
for a domicile!? 80-grand for a truck!? Drive-in screens in the living room for
200+ channels with nothing-of-value
to watch!? Designer-everything!? Most
people “running” hither-’n-yon searching for “something” and coming up empty
for worth or value!? Running makes
life “empty”, not “full”. $300 dollars for “new” jeans with rips in the legs
and rear-end!? Vacations to “get-away”!? Travel!? Nirvana!? Wow!
And, yet?---the collective purposely
chooses a vacant-mantra…Bored! Lonely!
Afraid!
Jesus wore a robe,
was shod in sandals, never owned property, traveled less than 200 miles!
A “King”
for all mankind! Never a celebrity!
No faux golden crown bespeckled with
precious jewels! No designer anything!
Just---an inscription…INRI “Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews”!
“For God
so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son to die for the sins of humanity and that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal
life.” (John
3:16)
Perjury!
Heresy! Torture! Scourging! A Crown-of-thorns! A heavy cross! Nails! Death!
Our precious, holy, sacred Stations-of-the-cross reveal the story
of Christ’s worthy sacrifice.
In His
“end”?---A new beginning!...In Jesus’ resurrection Christ defeated evil
death! Amen!
Easter-prayer!
Oh! Glorious morning light-of-Easter-morning dawn! Alleluia! Alleluia!
We
humble accept and respect His
tribulation and miracle Resurrection!
His Christian-generous “gift”
guaranteeing our Redemption & Salvation!
An
evil lie of heresy, jealousy, envy
and pure hate served to condemn Him!
They
stripped away His clothes! Mocked! Scourged!
Spat! Ridiculed! Crowned!
Made
Jesus carry a heavy cross! Denied!
Nailed! Pierced! Defiled! Killed! Him!
One
voiced his belief in the Lord and was rewarded with eternal
sacred heaven!
Loved
ones retrieved His holy body to lay Jesus in a borrowed temporary tomb!
On
the third day Easter morn Jesus arose from human-physical “dead”! Alleluia!
The
Deity-Trinity “plan” for God’s faithful to Redemption!-Salvation! Complete!
By
the Father’s authority! Jesus’ Blessings! Holy Spirit Grace! Testament-fulfilled!
Pray
(simple-humble) I be worthy of Jesus’ holy-sacrifice in Honor of God’s command!
Precious-Lord! Allow I return your perfect-Love with honest-generous Appreciation!
Alleluia!
Alleluia! Happy Easter! Amen! (March 31, 2024)
Stations-of-the-cross
1. Pilate
condemns Jesus to die
Jesus:
I am the Way! The Light! The Truth! Fear-not! & Follow-Me! For I am with
thee!
That insidious evil of the “forked”-tongue spoken lie served its purpose well in condemnation!
Vacant-gossip! Faux-jealousy! Evil
un-truth! Purposed-selfishness! Self-hate! Sins-of-man!
Persecution!---Yet, Jesus stood tall, unflinching,
un-afraid, absent defense…Humble
& Pure!
They put a purple robe on Him placing a crown of thorns on His head, mocking the “king”.
He refused to
dignify their purposed evil-sins with
rebuttal---Best…to hold thy
eager-tongue!
Judge-not
lest ye be judged!
Know thy enemies! Hold the friends
close, thy enemies closer!
Jesus’ sacred-holy
life displays a Value-in-Truth worthy of imitating Exemplar Virtue-Love!
By my worthy-example, let character reveal Truth
absent any obfuscation thus resulting Love-Appreciation
codified-in-evidence inviting imitation of such Virtue concluding spirit Peace!
In Christian-generosity
of humility silently reject evil-assault
absent validation-of-challenge.
Silence-is
Golden!
Our Jesus-Savior conditioned us by
example to withstand faux-arrows!
Fear-not hollow-evil word attack! Follow-Me in the image of My
example! Evil cannot stand!
Amen!
(Day 2 of 14 Tomorrow)
