“death is only the being!”

“Several times, Jesus forbids His followers to tell others that He is the Messiah—when He cleanses a leper (Mk 1:43–44), raises Jairus’s daughter (Mk 5:43), restores a man’s hearing and speaking (Mk 7:36), praises Peter’s confession (Mk 8:30), and debriefs His disciples after His transfiguration (Mk 9:9). Why be silent? Because the Savior’s messianic calling was radically different from other messianic narratives circulating in first-century Palestine. None of them taught about a crucified Messiah.”

“Holy Spirit, Light divine,
Shine upon this heart of mine.
Chase the shades of night away;
Turn my darkness into day.”
Reed, Prepare the Way of the Lord - An Introduction to the Old Testament
