A Day To Remember

A day of remembering

Hot, sticky, dusty

Crowds forming

Curiosity – looking

Three men

Dirty, blood-stained

Waling the narrow dirt public road

Each man carrying a cross upon their back

Slow moving. Too crowded.

One of the men stumbles to the ground

The burden is so heavy

He cannot get up

A soldier scouts the crowd

Roughly grasps a man

Pulling him to pick up the cross

Carrying it for the man on the ground

The man on the ground

Blood-stain on his face and body

Looks up in gratefulness and love

Stumbles next to the man carrying his cross up the hill

Here is the place called The Skull

Here is where these me will be crucified

Here is where two thieves hang

Here is where the Son of God dies

A day to remember

The Sacrifice of Love

“For here is the way God loved the world

He gave his only unique Son as a gift.

So now everyone who believes in him

Will never perish but experience everlasting life.

God did not send his Son into the world

To judge and condemn the world,

But to be its Savior and rescue it!”

John 3:16 & 17 (The Passion Translation)
