Holy Week

waving palm branches people shout hosanna - Christ the King has come the Passover feast preparation of the lamb - Jesus' last supper a time of prayer Father, not my will but yours - betrayed by a kiss angry fists are raised crucify! crucify him! - hatred replaces love Christ nailed to a cross the Holy One rejected - perfect sacrifice the empty grave mocks God's only son conquered death - Jesus is alive! 3/29/21 For Brian Strand's All Yours (March 31) contest

Reads like a good contender to me for Brian's contest. Way to go. His memory, His Spirit, His love and each event surrounding Him still lives on. How can anyone deny His Deity. Your presence at my page was supportive. Sara

Amen. Reminds me of an old song by Johnny Cash called "HE'S ALIVE!" I love to play that song at Easter time. Great stuff. God Bless and Happy Easter to you and yours. JB

This is sadly what unites many. "angry fists are raised crucify! crucify him! - hatred replaces love"- so very sad! But you have told the tale well, Kim. Happy Easter!
