Two in One, on the Cross

  
Lord,

 Your Father said, "This is my Beloved Son, on whom my favor rests."
And yet on the cross, your body was broken.
You were Beloved, yet broken.

 You were so broken but you did not give us up.
You loved us until your death on the cross.
You were broken, yet you proved we were your Beloved.

 And now, on the cross
We know that brokenness and belovedness can co-exist.
The two together embodied in one cross.

 Like you, we are all broken yet Beloved
In our brokenness, we can believe in your love for us
In your love, our brokenness can find a home.

 Two in one, on the cross  +
