Saying #7: Everything

Saying Seven: Everything

After Jesus drank the wine, he said, "Everything is done!" He bowed his head and died.
John 19:30

That's all folks! Show's over! Let's clear the area, please, nothing left to see. Jesus has left the building.

(Who'd have thought it would come to this? History colliding with mystery.)

In the beginning was the Word and the Word is now sentenced. Full stop. Close quotes. New paragraph.

Whatever "everything" is, "everything" is now complete. Things seen, things unseen. Everything that was started has finished. Every beginning has found its loose end, all thoughts have been taken to their logical conclusion. And any others.

At this moment, on this day, we have seen it all.

God bows his head respectfully and dies.

Everything dies.

Life dies.

Death dies.

Everything is done...

... except love.

Only love is not done.

Only love will not die.

Thanks for posting these Adam...I really liked reading/watching them.
I really liked the video with the words flashing on the screen this morning. I think simple videos like that can be the most powerful

Adam! How are you doing, man? John linked me to your blog, I thought I'd try and look you guys up and see how things are going! Shoot me an e-mail sometime! I used to have a blog here but stopped updating it a while back.
