The light shines through darkness
casting its glow upon hidden truth
in split seconds
it overtakes the cloud of darkness
which posits itself as strong
A look at the cloud
and the beauty of a rising sun
is an indisputable example
of the majesty of light
the power of the light cannot be challenged
by darkness nor the cloud
when my soul gropes in mystery
in search of its purpose and identity
i have no need of fear
for i know a light greater than the others
his presence overwhelms
his presence reveals
treasure around and within me
i anchor my hope on him
in trust that i shan't be lost
he knows the way through life
and his presence uncovers truth
It was the time of the passover. I had seen 32 passover feasts, during which my family and I, my disciples and I (When I began my public ministry), would slay the chosen lamb in honor of the father's ordinance.
In those 32 years, everytime we ate the passover lamb, I was reminded that someday I would be the lamb that was slain.
This 33rd year as I walked into Jerusalem on the 10th day of Nissan when the Lamb was to be chosen, I willingly gave myself as the lamb to be slain.
They hailed, called out to me hosanna meaning "Save Us". With every shout and scream, I was reminded of my purpose. The very reason I was born was to die for these and many to be saved.
Every voice, every stare, every palm tree, stirred in me a strong desire to accomplish my purpose. They thought they were asking me for political redemption but I knew they were asking me for total redemption.
That week, I had the most temptations of my life. My mind fought against the enemy as he tried so hard to mak…
