They were slow of heart to believe it all, but along the way they heard and saw Jesus' compassion for the least of society and learned more about His Father's heart as they heard Jesus' words of truth and training. In spite of self- promoting motives, mistaken priorities, irritations of this people-focused calling and ultimate cowardice when the Lord needed them most, He loved them to the end. so we could see how to live-compassion and care for the least of these-forgiveness and grace for sin and failure-submission to the Father (always and totally) even to death-received humanity with its suffering, death, prayers for strength and help, temptations,emotions of grief and joy, rejection from friend and foeYou tried to prepare those you had chosen for the future they did not expect. You died and we watch amazed-tremendous suffering-compassion continuing to rule as you cared for your mother, brought the criminal into yourKingdom-forgave those who killed you-refused any help from man to fulfill your final missionYou died and the lights went out.-the ground shook-the temple curtain split from top to bottom-a Roman centurion spoke his worshipYou died and His-story was forever changedYou died and love prevailed-in the hands that tenderly cared for your broken body-in the tomb provided by an honorable man-in the hearts of those who grievedYou arose and all is made new for all who believeYou arose and we see your gloryYou arose and the future awaits-with more glory and goodness that we can imagineMy heart is worshipping You!
