❤️ Jesus, the ' Word made flesh ' is raised on the cross ❤
But when the solemn sound of the fall of the cross into the hole prepared for it in the rock was heard, a dead silence ensued.
Every heart was filled with an undefinable feeling of awe.
A feeling never before experienced, and for which no one could account, even to themselves.
All the inmates of hell shook with terror, and vented their rage by endeavouring to stimulate the enemies of Jesus to still greater fury and brutality.
The souls in Limbo were filled with joy and hope, for the sound was to them a harbinger of happiness, the prelude to the appearance of their Deliverer.
Thus was the blessed cross of our Lord planted for the first time on the earth; and well might it be compared to the tree of life in Paradise,
For the wounds of Jesus were as sacred fountains, from which flowed four rivers destined both to purify the world from the curse of sin,
and to give it fertility, so as to produce fruit unto salvation ❤️
