CROSS

Pain

Emptiness

Devastation

Failure

Blood

Screams from a mother who cannot protect her child

Silence from friends who dare not join

Chuckles from those who just don’t know

Weight

Sorrow

Barbarianism

How could they?

How couldn’t they?

Love

Completion

Determination

Sovereignty

Understanding

Grace

Heart

Truth

The dismantling of who I assumed God was

The construction of what God’s heart and intent were

Demand

Respect

Power

Dominance

A king serving at the highest level of servitude

A man sacrificing more than I ever will

Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani

A cry

An omen

Circling back to words from a book

Written by men

Enacted by God

Communion

Depth

Eternity

Victory

To ask if He’d do it again

Makes the assumption that it needs to be done again

But the sacrifice is permanent

As He is permanence

It is finished

No more words remain

Power revealed it had never been touched by evil

We were fools to think we could ever equal God

Give up the ghost
