Six Hours,One Friday

"He really was the Son of God" - Matthew 27:54

To the casual observer the six hours were mundane.
God is on the cross.
The creator of the universe is being executed.
Spit and blood are caked on His cheeks and
His lips are cracked and swollen.
Thorns rip his scalp
His lungs scream with pain
His legs knot with cramps
Taut nerves threaten to snap as pain twangs her morbid melody
Yet,death is not ready
And there is no one to save Him,for He is sacrificing Himself
It is no normal six hours...its no normal Friday
Let me ask you a question:What would you do with that day in history?
What do you do with its claims?
If it really happened...if God did commandeer his own crucifixion....
if He turned his back on His own Sin...those six hours are no normal six hours
They were the most critical hours in history
