Loving, Loved, and Love, 
Therefore vulnerable. 

GUIDANCE

The Loving One suffering quietly.
An open wound nobody sees. 
Naked, exposed, and bleeding. 
A forsaken Father agonizes
While His beloved Son is rejected and murdered by His family.

PERSPECTIVE

The Loved One suffering publically.  
An open wound for all to see. 
Naked, exposed, and bleeding. 
A forsaken Son agonizes
While His tortured Father allows the murder
In order to save His family.

STRENGTH FOR THE JOURNEY

Love broken in two. 
A shared wound that rips us apart. 
Naked, exposed, and bleeding. 
Suffering so deep that everything goes dark. 
A heart-wide-open Spirit being beaten to death.
Such vulnerability is the high price we must pay
To be part of this King’s family. 
But if this seems too expensive,
He grants us freedom to “have no king but Caesar.”
