On the cold dark night you died
Lord, I was there by your side
I felt your sorrow and your pain
There was nothing I could do but feel the cold, heavy rain
You lifted your face to the sky
And you asked God,” Why""
Lord, you shouldn't have had to suffer such a horrible fate
But in your heart was only love never any hate
I wish the fear of death I could have braved
On the cross it was you I should have saved
It was me that should have been dying
For by petty lefts and deceitful lying
Instead you took my place
And I was saved by your loving grace

Christ often describes the Kingdom of God as "a man who scatters seeds on the ground.....as soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come". It is like "a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden" and it is like "like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough." Christ's mission was to "seek and save the lost." More than two thousand years ago as he was baptized in the Jordan River and proclaimed by the voice of God to be the Son of God. His earthly mission was not necessarily to bring Heaven to Earth but rather through his death our souls to Him and from Him to Heaven our Home.

For century’s scholars, philosophers, religious leaders have wondered who the man Jesus was supposed to be. Many said he was a great prophet, others the greatest man who ever lived and some say he was the Son of God, dying for the sins of the world.

During our lives we spend so much time exploring religion trying to finding answers. We've looked to evolution to explain how the human world came into existence. We use religion as a way of trying to find meaning in our lives. Yet each individual still may have there very own personal reasons for what they seek. Even the most brilliant minds cannot explain death, why there is suffering or why a rainbow appears after every storm.

It's in our nature to long for something more, something beyond ourselves. We have our own opinions and ideas on what or who that might be. But do we really ever find the answer looking through books or practicing religious nature" Have you ever spent silent moments in nature listening to the wind and staring in awe" It's a special and beautiful world in which we live. Have you ever held a tiny newborn in your arms, wondering how such a miracle existence"

It's often when we look beyond the confines of our humanity that we find what we're looking for. As for Jesus, that's a question only you can answer. Jesus asked his disciple Peter, "Who do you say I am"
