Jesus
Tonight is when you
We’re so human
You experienced
Godlessness
You hit rock bottom
You died
And knew what it was to be
Abandoned, forgotten
& unloved.
Because all of these feelings
All of these experiences
Each of these realities
Are part of being human.
Jesus, you truly
Utterly
Emptied
Yourself for us
In a Friday that
Wasn’t good!
(Yet)
And Jesus
Even without you there—
You invite us
To sit in that emptiness
All of Empty Saturday.
(How do you even do that?)
Thank you
For the emptying
And the emptiness
Jesus.
Thank you for being that human.
Amen
