v7: In addition to Jesus’ prayers in Gethsemane,
we might also think of his prayers and cries from the cross. Jesus was not
saved from death. He did not save himself but others, despite the (ironic)
jeers of the onlookers. But he was saved through death. He punched a hole in
the other side of the tomb so that it is not a dead-end but a gateway to glory
for the Christian. The tomb has become a womb through which we are re-born to
everlasting life.
See further Psalm 22 on the suffering and
vindication of the Messiah.
Maybe as we approach Christmas and we remember
Jesus born to die, it might be no bad thing to listen to an Easter hymn:
Song: Jesus lives! Thy terror now can no more,
O death, appal us - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYaOHEGgGCE
A very merry and Jesus fixated Christmas to
you!
