Reposted by @canongordon.bsky.socialGraham Kings @grahamkings.bsky.social · 20/04/2025The hour of starkness fully come, The Dealer is struck and laid in the tomb. Then is the end, but the end is of death: Through terrifying life in the depths, Death is destroyed, exploded inside. Before the rolling of the stone and the coming of the women came the rising. 2/3 GK #Easter 101
Reposted by @canongordon.bsky.socialGraham Kings @grahamkings.bsky.social · 20/04/2025Between the rolling of the stone and the crying of the name came the agonising. Shuddering, Jesus stares into the tomb, Making a deal with death in the depths. A greedy exchange is strangely agreed: Lazarus comes out and he will go in, The prize of life for the price of death. 1/3 111
