Look to the empty cross

Even the sun itself will bow
for no power on earth, or hell below
will stand in the presence of The Christ.
Victorious on the those sticks of wood
His blood was shed
and yet remains
ever a reminder of His great love.
But don't look for Him there.
The cross is empty, the tomb vacant.
All He claimed to be, proven.
Risen. Alive. Glorified.
When troubles come
and come they will
look to the empty cross.

    This is beautiful Karin. Just beautiful. A lovely reminder that the cross and grave are indeed empty and His Victory is ours.

    "All He claimed to be, proven."

    He is risen indeed.

    Don't look for him there. Look for him in our hearts. And in our compassion and acts of love.

As we travel on the road our Lord has placed before us, it's nice to meet a friend along the way. Thank you for stopping to leave a few or many words, I'm always interested to read your thoughts.
blessings and love,
in His service,
in the fire,
