Long Road Traveled

Soo, I definitely did not start this blog to post up a stockpile of poems, but to be honest, I don't really know what else to post. I have no idea what it truly means to "blog". For you, that may mean revealing the events of your day, or the deepest darkest, sometimes intimate struggles/secrets of your life. As For me?...well this is how i express my feelings, my thoughts, my desires, and most of the time, my frustrations..This is life for me. So... As you ruffle through the poetic prose, sloppy illustrations and sometimes unclear analogies I post, I hope you walk away Inspired, intrigued, and well.... spurred on to dig deeper in your daily walk.

Golgotha


Veni Vidi vici…its to you Lord that we’re reaching. Are we meeting your request or is sin in our lives leeching. Should we stand up strong abreast or should we hide cause sin is breaching. Through the walls of our defense…Yes, our minds, and hearts are being played!

Made to believe that you never gave your only son to die on a cross for us so we could be saved. Media plays its own version of truth so we can then  crave the things of the world like jerry curlz and swim suite models all shaved.

See I’ve played…this game of life so filled with strife and disbelief. Till one day I found the truth of what someone had done for me. By some one I mean Jesus Mayne!…he died on the cross….after taking 30 lashes, a crown of thorns, and some haulk spit. And man those whips are nothing like what you would think. I talking whips with nails, glass, jagged edges, and links….. that pierced this innocent man’s body, who’s Godly in being was true……he died for every one who persecuted Him! he died for me and for you!

“So what’s the story?” You many ask.. What’s this talk bout the cross? Some man just gives his life for us and all of the sudden He’s the boss?  Don’t you get it he wasn’t man…he was God in the flesh….fulfilling prophecies that Isaiah’s book had long kept.

So yeah, I’ll take you to the day when they nailed Him to the cross…on Golgotha- the place of the skull- where many lives had been lost. He cried “Father please forgive them, for they do not know…what they are doing”…yet they still cursed him and spat at Him from below. And two prisoners hung on either side of this rugged cross.. where the son of God hung dying with a beaten down corpse. One of two cried out humbly “Would..Would you remember me whe..when you hit the gates of heaven into eternity… Jesus replied shortly saying, “ I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” He was made brand new.

And with the hours winding down Jesus said his last words. “ Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani” was what everyone heard. “Into my hands I commit my spirit,” he cried out to the Father. The curtain of the temple split, an earthquake hit the ninth hour. It wasn’t long after then til’ His final breath came.  Look around and you will see that it was not all in vein. But still the truth has gotten foggy; and the significance lacks cause we weren’t there out in the crowd when they TORE UP HIS BACK.

…….so I say this……

Claim it truth, fact, or fiction; odyssey, mishap, religion; fantasy, witchcraft or fission, Christ has died and now He’s risen. Don’t get it twisted or confused. Don’t misconstrue what is the truth! This guy was God here in the flesh cleaning sins’ residue. And don’t turn blue cause you cant see what Christ has done for you and mE. Hit the books…his legacy is in the B.I.B.L.E. no fantasy; no tragedy; it’s not Macbeth man…It’s JC!!.

Just look around and you will see why your King died upon that tree.                  

– Luke 23
