Just as He said

"I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified"

Matthew 28:5

Crucified for the Jews... and for the Gentiles

Crucified for the soldiers... and for the criminals

Crucified for John the Baptist and for Herod and for the Magi

Crucified for Matthew, Mark, Luke and John

Crucified for Peter and Paul and Judas

Crucified for the blind and the lame and the dying

Crucified for the many, and the few... for the 5,000 and for the 12

Crucified for the Samaritans and the Greeks and the Romans... 

for the Pharisees and the Sadducees

Crucified for Caesar and Pilate... 

for Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus

Crucified to fulfill Scripture

Crucified for the lost and the hopeless... 

and those who don't know it

Crucified for everyone on this earth before He came, 

and everyone who came after

~

Risen.... because He is God

~ "He is not here;

for He is risen,

as He said" ~

Matthew 28:5
