“Six days shall you labor
The seventh is the Lord's
In six He made the earth and all the heavens
But He rested on the seventh
God rested
He said that it was finished
And the seventh day, He blessed it
God rested.”
—Andrew Peterson
Pilot's Three Questions (John 18:28-40)
“The scale of the reversal cannot be exaggerated: when Jesus stands before Pilate… he must seem from the vantage of all the noble wisdom of the empire and the age... merely absurd… But in the light of the resurrection… the mockery now redounds upon all kings and emperors, whose finery and symbols of status are revealed to be nothing more than rags and brambles beside the majesty of God’s Son, beside this servile shape in which God displays his infinite power to be where he will be; all the rulers of the earth cannot begin to surpass in grandeur this beauty of the God who ventures forth to make even the dust his glory.”
— David Bentley Hart

Whose goodness faileth never;

And he is mine for ever.“

Jesus's Prayer for the Disciples (John 17:1-19)
“Two men appeared
Moses and Elijah came, they were at his side
The prophecy, the legislation
Spoke of whenever he would die”
