JESUS

Innocent of all crimes

He never sinned

He was sentenced to death

While a killer was freed

He was betrayed by a kiss

For thirty coins of silver

His friends ran, denied Him

Before the rooster crowed three times

He carried the cross

Through the roads of the town

A crown of thorns on His head

Jeered and put down

Nails through His hands

Nails through His feet

Stabbed in the side

Hanging by a thief

"The King of the Jews"

They mocked Him

"Save yourself if you can."

He could have had His Father in Heaven send down angels

To save His own life

Instead He chose to die

So that we might have a chance at Paradise

He forgave His killers

Even through the pain

"Father forgive them

for they know not what they do."

3:00

The sun darkened

An earthquake rent the earth

The Son of God died

He gave His life on the cross

Three days later He rose again

Was seen by witnesses, dined with His friends

Forty days later, He returned to Heaven

Promising that one day, He would return

You don't have to believe in Him

You can curse His name

But no matter what

His love for you will never change

He gave His life on the cross

For you, for me, for all of humanity

"I will be with you always…."

Matthew 28:20
