Jesus And The Red Lamb Meaning
In darkness stirs the strangeness of desertion, the lonely hour beyond the supper’s sharing. Into this darkness Jesus slowly stumbles: the lonely Savior.
That broken bread and cup of wine completed, he with their hymn descends into the garden, a shade of prayer and solitude and anguish: our longing Savior.
In silence at the brutal inquisition, the searching for some reason to deny him, where anger, fear, uncertainty abound – there, stands the Savior.
Alone among the mocking voices, Jesus feels lash, and thorns, the cross, sheer isolation until the solitary warrior rouse love, and victory win.

So eat together of the lamb that, ready, we may rise and keep memorial this night as God leads us to life.
About the table spread for life, beneath the lintel’s mark, behold the Lamb is ready now: our Passover Desire.

On Colossians 3:1-4
Raised up with Christ: seek things above; attend the places of the Lord. Incline together in his way, for Christ’s our life, our hope, our joy.
Entered into the courts of God, installed with Jesus to God’s face, begin afresh, intoned with love where all is live and glory shines.
By death now raised into full life, begun on God’s eternal glide, refresh your will in Spirit’s way for here our hearts are free and lithe.
Above the boundaries of grief, assured of boundless glory’s gleam, intent on Jesus, heaven’s style, we are, O God, your company.

On John 20:19-31
Appearing in this Upper Room, O Risen Christ, you’ve come. You greet us in the depths of peace, astound our waiting hearts.
You open to our wary lives the marks of anguish, death. We see them, know your promise …show more content…
Offspring of our dearest Lord: freest, liveliest of all, so we find our God in light, Spirit’s breath who gives us life.
Now, the hour of all relief brings us to the heart of God, brings us freely to delight in the God who gives all life.

On 1 Peter 4:12-14; 5:6-11
In this strangest season, partner of the Lord, we entice the changes that afflict the world. So in the throes of grace disasters known, stand and joy in Jesus at salvation’s door.
Ever in the moment conflict rakes the soul, now in open passion, come, respond in hope. For in the anger, rage, insulting force found before us Jesus stands in rising grace.
Humble in the passion Jesus gives us now, stand in boldest wonder, taste the tang of bliss. For in the fullness Jesus offers you, enter with rejoicing, faith into joy’s share.
