You Did Not Resist
You did not resist the mob, when they came carrying torches to light their dark way. Before they arrived you already knew of their evil intent. Instead of leaving, your choice was to stay, knowing this was The Fathers will.
Those who had accompanied you to the garden that night were weary and allowed sleep to overtake them. While they slept, you were in great anguish praying to your Father, until the men with swords and clubs arrived.
Leading the crowd was Judas, who betrayed his Lord with a kiss. Peter, James and John took flight as fear griped the hearts of the Galileans leaving you to face the mob alone - as the disciples slipped into the dark night.
The religious trial was held that night as you were brought before the High Priest and leaders of the people. False accusers came forward in an attempt to ensure conviction.
In the morning Pilate passed his judgment. After scourging at the hands of the soldiers - you were barely recognizable.
The sinister hill known as Golgotha awaited as the sacred hour approached. Because you were obedient onto death, a sinner such as I, in God’s presence can now stand.
As the third day dawned an empty tomb was revealed. The angle announced “He is not here, He has risen.”
Today, let us praise our Savior for His Atonement.
