“Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.” (Revelation 1:17-18)

“My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” (Matthew 26:39)

In the same way, after supper, Jesus took the cup and said, “This cup shows the new agreement that God makes with his people. This new agreement begins with my blood which is poured out for you.” (Luke 22:20)

For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. (Psalm 16:10)

He will swallow up death forever. (Isaiah 25:8)

Christ Among the Rhododendron | 24x30

Today I am with you in paradise. In this paradise the whispering Wind brought me to. Your blood drips to make a garden, and from among the Rhododendron you call for me to come and receive Love and Life from the Father.

“How precious the gift of the cross, how splendid to contemplate! …The fruit of this tree is not death but life, not darkness but light. This tree does not cast us out of paradise, but opens the way for our return.

This was the tree on which Christ, like a king on a chariot, destroyed the devil, the Lord of death, and freed the human race from his tyranny. This was the tree upon which the Lord, like a brave warrior wounded in his hands, feet and side, healed the wounds of sin that the evil serpent had inflicted on our nature. A tree once caused our death, but now a tree brings life. Once deceived by a tree, we have now repelled the cunning serpent by a tree. What an astonishing transformation! That death should become life, that decay should become immortality, that shame should become glory!”
- Saint Theodore the Studite (759-826 AD)

How else will I find you, if I do not enter the shadowy place of prayer? There, where I have seen your face before. But I fear the uncertainty. Is that you, Lord? Or is it only my own reflection?

As he came from his mother’s womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand...and what gain is there to him who toils for the wind?
(Ecclesiastes 5:15-16)

“You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave...”
(Matthew 20:25-28)

🪞
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like a grave that has been whitewashed. You look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside you are full of moldering bones and decaying rot. You appear, at first blush, to be righteous, selfless, and pure; but on the inside you are polluted, sunk in hypocrisy and confusion and lawlessness.
(Matthew 23:27-28)

“…let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12: 1-2)

The soul - parched, empty, and unable - returns to God and reaches out to receive.
