Who is God Now?


It is finish, He cried,


The soldiers were stunned

What is he talking about, they asked?

He must be suffering from the pain of the beatings he had received

Some laughed at him for crying out loud,

God crying, save yourself they chorused



Others pitied Him

held him in scorn

stones petted his body

he hung his head and took one last breath,

O, the roar from the soldiers



We got him they cheered

God, hung dead

Who is God now? They mocked.



They didn't laugh long

Because, three days later,

They received word that His Tomb is empty.

"Empty"?



It can't be, He was finished!!!!

He is dead, we saw him die,

we brought him down.



No my friend, he's risen, angels announced it

he appeared to his friends

and they are all excited again

Because, dead was swallowed up in victory



His dead was the release he sought for sinners

condemned to die



He died and completed His assignment here on earth,

Death is finished

Pain is vanquished

Sorrow removed

Sin defeated

Sickness is finished

Just because he died,

His death and resurrection

Secured a life of fullness for all mankind.

It is Finished.

Happy New Year.

The end of a year is the beginning of a new year. Life is a cycle, whatever has a beginning also has an ending. 
For some the year ends with sadness, lost of hope, life, health. For others, the year aheads looks bleak, with no promise of anything good.
Happy New Year? Hardly. 

Regardless of how the year ends, the year ahead is blank and unknown, you can fill the pages of each day with deliberate acts of kindness, love, joy, and  hope.

Some things are within your control others are not, so do whatever you can and labour not on what you can't control. 
Whatever you do, let it be something you can look back on at the end of this year and be proud. 

Telling others Happy New Year and receiving same is a declaration into the year. 
Say it, expect it, believe it. 

Happy New Year.
