Sweet Release

"As soon as it was day" (Luke 22:66a)

Jesus was bound by all the aspects of humanity.
And so He would have been utterly exhausted.
The evening before
He had drunk the dredge of emotional turmoil-
even to sweating like great drops of blood
falling to the ground.
That would have caused extreme exhaustion.

Then He is dragged from place to place,
walking miles.
All this during 24 hours of no sleep.
And it continues on and on
into the next day
when He is finally released from
His humanity
and adorns a resurrected body.
