AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS & IN THE FRUIT OF THE RESURRECTION

AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS & IN THE FRUIT OF THE RESURRECTION

Suffering and sacrifice are not popular themes these days
But neither is love…true love
Suffering and sacrifice is the compost that true love grows in.

Suffering and sacrifice is the seen as being negative
In the magic kingdom of prosperity in today’s world
The cry is for freedom, without cost
Effortless and painless
No dues to be paid
But that is simply cheap grace and empty gratitude.

One must suffer and sacrifice in order to die to self
Then, and only then can true love grow
From death comes life
After the cross came the resurrection
And the world was transformed.
