Jesus of Nazareth has been taken from us! We just broke bread together and shared in drink. Now He has been betrayed and taken away. We are scattered and scared, not knowing what will come of this.
We are in silence, in hiding for our own fear of what will happen next. Will they punish Jesus? What will happen if they catch us? Will they flog Jesus or worse yet, crucify him?
We sit in silence, not knowing what to do. We sit in silence, unbelieving that this could happen. But didn’t Jesus tell us that He would be betrayed? Still, silent, afraid, bewildered……what next?
The altar has been stripped.
We leave in silence, contemplating what all this means.
Be still and know that I am your God.
Hear me in the silence, I am the Lord your God.
Trust in the Lord your God.
Be still.
Hello darkness my old friend
I’ve come to talk to you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left a vision while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains
within the sound of silence
Who will roll away the stone?
Well played!
Right on man, who rolled away the stone they will ask.
