Subject: explain Mark 15:34 |
Bible Note: Thanks; the quotes reveal that it's not original: Joseph Bayly, "Psalms of My Life" Victor, 2000. Hard to find but worth it. This is a review so I hope the following is fair use: A Psalm for Christmas Eve Praise God for Christmas Praise Him for the Incarnation for Word made flesh. I will not sing of shepherds watching flocks on frosty night or angel choristers. I will not sing of stable bare in Bethlehem or lowing oxen wise men trailing distant star with gold and frankincense and myrrh. Tonight I will sing praise to the Father who stood on heaven's threshold and said farewell to His Son as He stepped across the stars to Bethlehem and Jerusalem. And I will sing praise to the infinite eternal Son who became most finite a Baby who would one day be executed for my crimes. Praise Him in the heavens. Praise Him in the stable. Praise Him in my heart. (c) Copyright 1987, 2000 by the estate of Joseph Bayly. If you can read that dry-eyed, you're a better man than I. Our (retired) pastor used to say that without Easter, Christmas has no purpose; without Christmas, Easter has no meaning. Peace and grace, Steve |
