How ironic that the powerful One hung
Powerless on the cross!
"He saved others," the mockers said,
"Himself He cannot save." *
The Creator seemed to be immobilized, at
The mercy of the ones He created.
But Satan was correct.
Jesus could have called on a legion of
Angels to deliver Him.**
It must have taken great power for Him to
Hold back His power.
It took unbelievable restraint to endure
The betrayal,
The scourging,
The cross, and even more to wait
Three long/short days before He
Could explode out of His grave.
Jesus had kept His power in check until
His Father shouted, "Blast off!!"
And to this day the reverberations
Haven't stopped.
