Everyone will see Him, including those who pierced Him.
- Revelation 1:7
PIERCED
When the sharp point pricks the skin or the razor edge parts the flesh blood flows freely, pain raises its head alarm spreads through the body – brain, heart, spirit and unless the crimson river is staunched the wound attended to, panic sets in trauma, shock, anger and fear fill the senses.
Retaliation is often our immediate response wounded, we must defend ourselves, fight back ...puncture for a puncture… ...threat and cut and injury for every infliction… at least a sanction, a barrier to address the attack some form of offensive action, retribution to right the wrong that is unless we are in Christ.
God-become-man knew all the
wounds
bled from cuts of the scourge,
bruised pride of religion
suffered pricks of long thorns
and deep insults of words
His life ending in blood and
water on the Cross
with nary a word, a rebuttal, a
defense
offering up spirit and truth in
the Father’s love
and inviting us all to do the
same.
