Easter-celebration! Begins! (Day 1 of 14)

 

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!
