Calvary

From man’s perspective:

Judgment over death hell, and sin.
Calvary was a judgment in which the entire world is judged. 
The Devil Himself fought with Christ for dominion:
    The powers of darkness were shaken;
    The earth spewed forth her wrath;
    The world mocked and turned from Him.

It appeared to be a victory for the forces of evil.  
Christ submitted Himself to a seeming defeat!
It had a solid impact on the apostles,
He appeared as just another “savior”.  
A time of sorrow for mankind.

Christ died while women cried;
He was buried while the apostles tarried;
He rose from the grave, the sinner to save;
He’s alive evermore on that golden shore.


From God’s perspective:

The Judgment of the law which condemned man.
Judgment for death, hell, and the grave.
The Devil did fight with Jesus--Jesus won!
    A humiliated Savior;
    A victorious conqueror;
    A faithful servant;

He arose a victor over all!
He submitted to the will of God;
He restored the apostles;
He introduced salvation to the world.

Christ died in shame, but rose in glory;
He walked with sinners, but lived with angels;
He was buried in darkness, but raised in the Light.
