The Word

“I am The Word who spoke no word, with a 1’000 angels waiting for my call!”
(Theocracy, one of my favourite songs…)

Of all the ways You have been described, this one is by far my favourite. It is their perspective that lends depth to the greatest act of love. I guess it is because I would give my own life for the ones I love.

I cannot even imagine what Our Father or the angels must have gone through during your time to and on the cross. If someone had to hurt a loved one of mine I would be there throwing punches and bringing down a whole lot of ass-kicking.

And You knew. You know that if You had to utter one single word the angels would have come and brought with them a fight that would have altered our existence as we know it. Having to watch you die in that way must have killed them as well…

Your silence was one of the greatest selfless acts ever.
