Dancing at the Tomb

While some lay flowers

Others lay stones.

Our Messiah and Savior 

Has risen from the dead

Therefore let us dance at his tomb.

For we, who have commemorated his death,

Should celebrate his resurrection.

Jesus Falls for the Second Time

Jesus is fully God and fully human

Though he cannot fall spiritually, 

He can fall in any other way just like any human being.

The day he fell beneath His cross, he was a man carrying a heavy load.

Humans can fall physically, such as when the ground is uneven or they are walking in the dark.

Humans can fall emotionally, such as when your friends cannot come over to play,

One of your friends is sick, or the Church is closed due to a pandemic.

Humans can fall spiritually, such as when they commit a sin or 

When they fail to recognize God's will.

Humans can fall egotistically, such as when they forget how much God helps them or 

When they do not love their neighbors to the best of their abilities.

But Jesus, Our Lord, although he was fully man, never fell spiritually or egotistically,

This is what made him Our God and Savior.

Amen

Jesus Falls for the First Time

He carries the weight of the entire world

This includes the weight of everyone's sins, mess-ups, and break-ups

So He falls, but He always gets back up

And He never falls into our sin

And He perseveres to the end

To save us from our sin
