Have you ever felt the ground shake? Did you quake? Did you tremble?
The day that Jesus died, the ground shook the earth quaked,
the rocks split. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, God's son died.
No wonder the ground couldn't stay still. After all it was Jesus who measured the ground,
Jesus who arranged the earth, Jesus who shaped the rocks. The day that Jesus died the ground
shook, the earth quaked, the rocks split. I guess we shouldn't be surprised,
God's son died. No wonder the ground couldn't stay still.
Even the brave soldier guarding Jesus was scared. Only someone really powerful can make the earth
shake. Only someone really strong can cause rocks to break apart. The soldier looked up at Jesus.
He looked down at the broken rocks. He thought about the earthquake
and he realized something. This was no ordinary man,
this was God. God's own son. And the soldier said surely he was the Son of God.
The day that Jesus died the ground shook, the earth quaked, the rocks split.
I guess we shouldn't be surprised. God's son died. No wonder the ground couldn't stay still.
The Son of God died shocking, staggering, shattering. But it was the only way.
The sinless for the sinful. The right for the wrong. The maker for the made. For us, what love.
The day that Jesus died the ground shook, the earth quaked, the rocks
split. I guess we shouldn't be surprised god's son died. No wonder the ground couldn't stay still.
So maybe like the ground we should shake a little bit. Perhaps we should tremble after all
what Jesus did was amazing what Jesus did was super powerful super strong love in action.
Hey shaky quakey trembler, don't worry that's not the end of the story. Guess what? Jesus didn't
stay dead. God brought him back to life again. How amazing? God's son is alive. That's the brilliant
news of Easter. Jesus is alive. We can know and we can say Jesus is the Son of God
