He has already done everything

"Meanwhile he has already done EVERYTHING. Indeed, more than we could ask or imagine. God has entered our world.

He has walked through the dust of this earth. He who is LIFE has wept before the grave and He who is the Bread of Life has felt the ache of hunger in his belly

He has supped with the weak and the weary, the sinners, the publicans. He has taken the thorns that afflict this sin-scarred world and woven them into a crown to be placed upon his head.

And he has stretched open his arms in love that the hands that wove creation might be nailed to a wooden cross.

Then he rose from the DEAD, conquering all that would conquer us, setting us free to live in peace and joy before the face of God."
