An Easter Story

An Easter Story

As they took Him to the Pavement, to the scourging post,
Satan, and his evil disciples were rejoicing with wicked excitement.
As the demons guided every blow of the Roman guard to the body of Christ
They shouted in vicious victory, as Jesus shouted in agonizing pain.

The demons leaped on the unholy crowd, inciting a dark and evil riot,
They hurled blasphemies, cursing, and unimaginable hate towards the Savior.
And all the time, Satan is holding his side in laughter
Saying, “I have won! I have won! I have won!”

The demons clung to the whip as it tore open the flesh of Christ
They shouted, “Again! Again! Again!” as the guard flung the whip at Jesus
The flesh of Jesus hung in strands from His body
Exposing organs, bones and tissue

The Father held back His mighty army, for they were ready for war.
They stood back in disbelief thinking, “Why is our King allowing this to happen?”
With swords drawn and ready for the command,
The Father says to His Angels, “Stand down. My Son is fighting, He will conquer!”

A crown of thorns was twisted and shoved with force on His head
The guards and the demons bowed to Jesus in evil mockery.
The crowd evilly cheered and shouted, “Crucify Him!”
They cried ever louder, “Give us the man of sin! Kill the Man that heals!”

As they led Jesus to the Place of the Skull, the demons kept hurling insults
They possessed the bodies of the unholy crowd, so that the hate increased.
The cross Jesus carried, was made of, envy, hate and wickedness.
Though a symbol of death, became a symbol of life.

As they nailed Jesus to the cross, the demons shouted, “It’s really happening!”
As they dropped the cross into the ground Satan grinned an evil grin
The day turned dark as the Father turned away and Satan kept eyes fixed
For Jesus gave up His Spirit as He shouted, “Paid in full!”

Jesus died, Hell rejoiced, people awed, the Angels gasped, the Father Knew
As the demons celebrated, Jesus walked through hell proclaiming victory
“We won Jesus, we won!” yelled the demons
“I Am leaving and I Am taking these with me!” Jesus said, grabbing the keys

The Father released the Angels, they rolled away the stone that covered His grave
They made sure the soldiers didn’t wake up and proclaimed He has risen
The Fathers plan worked, and the Son now lives
Jesus rose, Hell gasped, people awed, Angels rejoiced, the Father knew

Selah,
Pastor D W Riffe

The Achievement:

The Achievement: There are those who say the crucifixion of Jesus was a tragedy. I say it was an achievement, an accomplishment, a plan played out, prophecy fulfilled. If Jesus would not have been crucified the way He was, the Old Testament would have been nothing more than fairy tales, and God the Creator of all . . . a liar. If Jesus had not been crucified we would be damned. There is no way we could live under the law and God the Father and the Son knew that. Also if Jesus had not died on the cross for our sins, we could not call Him, Christ, Savior, Redeemer or Lord. Jesus prayed to the Father, “If there’s another way, let’s take it. But not my will, Yours.” There was no other way that we could be saved. Jesus made sure He was crucified on the day He was. The Pharisees didn’t want to kill Him on a Feast day, but Jesus made sure He was. At the last supper, Jesus tells Judas to go do what he has to, that is, get the ball rolling. In the garden when Judas shows up with t...
