The Greatest Reality... by Joey Rozek

The Greatest Reality... by Joey Rozek

With prophecy behind Him, a surrendered will inside Him,
sweat and blood protruding out of Him, spit all over Him,
mocking men like dogs and strong bulls all around Him,
a religious pride opposing Him, the weight of sin upon Him,
the head of the serpent beneath Him and the joy set before Him...
Jesus delightfully and frightfully, quietly and rightfully, undeservedly
while the public was observing He, with no one to help or stop this reality...
endured the hostility, with heavenly concentration and inhumane humiliation,
He succeeded to pay the debt of every sinful generation,
without a moment of disobedient hesitation or a desperate plea to save His reputation,
Jesus bore it all, redeeming us and esteeming us to bring us eternal salvation.

Listen to the shouts and threats still bouncing off Jerusalem's wall
amidst the Victor who became the Victim announcing deliverance from our fall.
"Save now! Save now!"..."No, I must suffer for creation",
"Are you king? Are you king?"..."Yes, I am the Author of Salvation",
"Blasphemy! Blasphemy!"..."No, Father forgive them",
"Crucify Him! Crucify Him!"..."Yes, Your sins are forgiven",
"Save yourself! Save yourself!"..."No, I must be forsaken",
"Remember me! Remember me!"..."Yes, your debt is now taken",
"He is dead! He is dead!"..."No, I am the Great Physician",
"Behold Him! Behold Him!"..."Yes, I am risen!"
