The tears, the living waters
the love of God, exposed
for all to see, sacrificing
Christ
His pain in this moment
more than unbearable
the darkness descending
as Christ became the
sacrifice
God descended as the Son
yet in heaven as the Father
crying on that Friday
for our disobedience
for the Lamb upon the cross
tears in heaven, flowing,
in His pain and suffering
Grace in that moment
if we did not otherwise
believe
hope for life eternal
for all who would believe;
but ever to be mindful
of what God did that day
sacrificing His loved one
that we would live today

July 15, 2010
Crying on Friday
Genesis 22:1-19
Abraham faithful in sacrificing
his first born son Isaac,
God providing substitute lamb;
Christ becoming the sacrificial lamb
with no substitution;
the pain of the Father on Good Friday
when his son died for us.
&
Hebrews 10:1-14
Christ was the one priest able to make
one sacrifice for all time
&
John 11:32-44
John 11:35
“Jesus wept” for his friend Lazarus,
though he knew he would rise
&
Jeremiah 31:15
Rachel crying for her children
who are no more
