Easter Saturday...
rejesus , maggi helped me not just to breeze through today thinking it was monday because I was at church yesterday and that Easter is as much about Saturday as it is about Friday and Sunday.
The image is from a Greek icon known as the Man of Sorrows, dating from the 12th century, in Kastoria Cathedral, Greece. Check rejesus for the meditation here.
Man of sorrows! what a name-----
For the Son of God, who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim;
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!
Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned he stood,
Sealed my pardon with his blood;
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!
Guilty, vile and helpless we,
Spotless Lamb of God was he;
Full atonement--can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!
Lifted up was he to die;
It is finished was his cry;
Now in Heaven, exalted high;
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!
When he comes, our glorious King,
All his ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we'll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!
Philip Paul Bliss(1838-76)
