“Not so long ago, or far away; A young man stands in the shadow of death, where a crowd of nonbelievers will judge this sinless man to be guilty, though in the heavens above His Father has already declared His victory. What happened is that after affirming himself to be the promised Son of God, came forth echoes of blasphemy to sway and subvert men’s hearts. Notwithstanding, He performed diverse miracles that many people had seen, those witnesses were deemed as liars; Sanhedrin with their blinded eyes and hardened hearts would never dub him the Messiah. They spread lies of heresy to scandalize his name and sought death by crucifixion to defame his claim. Then by Conspiracy, Politics, and Ignorance of men, they petitioned a reluctant government to crucify Him. So, death by this method the verdict would bring, yet they beat Him, whipped Him, and mocked Him a King. Cat o’ nine tails, the whip they did wield, though with His stripes; all men are healed. Under the weight of His passion, a battered Jesus cried, forgive them, Father, for this reason, I abide, and during the hours of His torture, men were heard to boast, where is your kingdom now? or was it just a hoax? Yet in fulfillment of His assignment, the Son declared it finished, but men could not comprehend, the accomplishment in it; and as they witnessed His blood-stained cross; Gambling men the lots they did toss; Sanhedrin cheered with raised fist stirred and thought death to be, His just deserve. But from the blood of Jesus, in heaven could be heard, an advocate for mercy, though it was undeserved; and God ever faithful, forgave for Jesus sake, redeemed men from bondage, and death their looming fate; as Sin, Love, Judgement; and Justification are nailed to the cross; His blood cries for mercy, the Holy Spirit indwells by grace; for the atoning lamb has paid the price, to reconcile men’s sin erased. To the risen King be the glory, for His sacrifice so great; To the risen King be the glory, our author and finisher of faith; To the risen King be the glory, the truth, the life, and the way; for He is the Resurrection of men in God’s kingdom, no flesh can replicate. Jesus proves all men; the Audacity of faith.” Yod Hey Vav Hey (????) I AM that I AM; YAHWEH, the truth, the way and the life, the author, and finisher of our faith, Hallelujah.”
