The darkest day....

Jesus is gone...they took Him away on that very dark night.  We hid, we cried and we watched from a distance.  Jesus was put on trial.."Judas, where are you going?"  Barrabas?  Why do they want him?  Jesus isn't supposed to be on trial.

Oh Jesus, you are tied and bound, a crown of thorns on your head...No, not the cross.  "Broken"....I get it..but this is for me?  No, make the pounding of the nails stop..."your blood shed for me"....for me?

The sky is so dark.  There is John with the women...Isn't he afraid?  We are all back here in hiding. Will we be next?   The earth is rumbling.. the temple is shaking...one of the priests came running by and said the temple curtain was torn....God, save us, save us....Jesus is dead.  What do we do now.....we are afraid.
Look, they are taking Him down. Joseph and Nicodemus are here....hurry, lets see where they are taking His body.

He's really dead, Dead and buried..we followed Him, we left our homes and jobs and families, and saw Him do miraculous things. ...we saw Him heal, cast out demons, calm the seas, but He didn't save Himself and take His kingdom...we are lost....a very dark day indeed....
