Grünewald: The Crucifixion


Today the son of Love has become a hate criminal.
Today the insurgent is whipped.
Today the apostate is spit upon.
Today the terrorist is crucified.
Today the criminal is destroyed.

Today blood-love softens every evil heart.
Today the suppression of the kingdom of darkness is shattered.

Today a disconnected mother weeps for her son.

Ida Camburn, Susan Talbot and children disappeared by a totalitarian regime.

Claire Headley, Laura DeCrescenzo, Bea Kiddo, and generations that could have been.

Today we stand with the Martyrs Lisa McPherson, Uwe Stuckenbrock, and Patrice Vic.

Today we stand with the Confessors who were light in the darkness.

Today we ask for brave hearts to follow the criminal of love to the pits of Hell and empty it until not one prisoner remains.

Today the earth quakes.
Today the kingdom of death trembles.
Today its power is overthrown.
Today prisoners awake, for tonight he dines in Hell.

"But thanks be to God, who *always* leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in *every* place.

For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved *and* among those who are perishing; to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life."

2 Corinthians 2:14-16

Sometimes we *are* the light in the darkness... One little candle, in a big dark cave.

And one little candle, is just enough.

Good article! Let us remember what Jesus said:

"I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep...As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must
bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one
fold, and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father."
John 10:11, 15-18, KJV
