"I'm goin' with," we said.
And then we clamored into a car heading for a ballgame,
a movie,
the lake,
or just to go cruising.
I won't try to define cruising here, other than to say,
And we would share the outcome of that adventure also...
Equally.
There are three men.
Hanging on separate crosses.
Life is slowly ebbing from their bodies.
One will remain angry and choose isolation.
Another is anxious and aware of his just consequences in contrast to the third
man on the cross next to him.
In desperation he asks for connection.
In desperation he asks for connection,
"...Remember me!" he pleads.
"...Remember me!" he pleads.
AND in essence, Jesus says to this man, "No worries, you’re with me!”
In other words, Hereafter....you are “metah” (in the greek)
Or WITH.
It means "amid or accompanied by."
He's saying, it’s me AND you going to paradise.
Everyone there will know that we are inseparable.
Bob Benson used to say, “There’s nothing between Jesus and me.”
I am his, he is mine.
I am his, he is mine.
No longer alone,
In navigating through this life.
Your past doesn't matter.
Your failings are forgotten.
Your future is secure.
Jesus says,
"You're WITH me."
