The
End… and
the Beginning Those whom
he left behind saw nothing but his corpse. He was not a teacher anymore.
He had become a teaching instead--a window into the depths of God that
some could see through and some could not. Those who held out hope
for a strong God, a fierce God, a God who would brook no injustice--they
looked upon a scene where God was not, while those whose feet Jesus
had washed, whose faces he had He had put his own body between them and those who meant to do them harm. He had demolished the rock around their hearts. He had shown them a dangerous new way to live. It was dark
by the time they got him down and found a place to lay him. It was
the Sabbath, his turn to rest. His part was over. His work was done.
