Jesus has got the World in His Hands-Jesus tem o Mundo em Suas Mãos
An illustration to celebrate Easter made at Escola Secundária Rainha Dona Leonor..
The world takes up the form of a big balloon that Jesus holds in His Hands, so that it will not fall down. On the other hand the world contains several sections of Jesus Life from His Triumphal Entry in Jerusalem, acclaimed as He passed by on a donkey ( a meek animal, not used for war ) to His Ascension to the Father and Future Return to the earth to reign for ever.

Why the Cross? Porquê a Cruz?
Because God abhorrs sin, any kind of desobedience or rebellion. Sin separates us from God. Jesus came to tear that wall down. To do so, He had to accept over Him all kinds of sins and rebellions at the Cross and expiated them. Being totally innocent, born with no sin, He could die for every human being.
You can see an e card with text by Lorenz Eifert at:
Propitiation versus Expiation - What do they mean?
Propitiation literally means to make favorable and specifically includes the idea of dealing with God’s wrath/grief against sinners. The word propitiation carries the basic idea of appeasement, or satisfaction, specifically towards God. Propitiation is a two-part act that involves appeasing the wrath of an offended person and being reconciled to that same person Expiation literally means to make pious and implies either the removal or cleansing of sin. The idea of propitiation includes that of expiation as its means; but the word "expiation" has no reference to quenching God’s righteous anger. The difference is that the object of expiation is sin, not God. One propitiates a person, and one expiates a problem. Christ's death was therefore both an expiation and a propitiation. By expiating (removing the problem of) sin God was made propitious (favorable) to us. Relevant passages: Luke 18:13 Romans 3:25 Hebrews 2:17 "...and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world." 1 John 2:2 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10
PROPITIATION involves that GOD IS SATISFIED WITH US because our flaws were expiated/removed with the death of Christ, the flawless One.

Text on Easter - Texto sobre a Páscoa
The Son of Man's Hours of Crisis
Entrying into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday
He was not in anticipation of being crowned:
The crying of the multitude " Hail Son of David"
would soon turn into "Crucify Him !"
Celebrating Passover with His Disciples
His Heart was moved, full of love for them all;
Sadness however filled His thoughts
"This is our Last Meal together here, with you",
He said
I must go away from you."
And added,
"I will be back to you however ..."
" Do this in remembrance of me.
This bread, that I break and share with you
represents my body, which will be broken for you;
this wine we drink a shade it is of my blood poured out for the forgiveness of sins;it ratifies a new agreement with men."
Among men it is common for the masters to be served.
But with me, your Lord and Master, I must serve you and so you have to do if you are with me."
" What you have to do, do it quickly",
Jesus told Judas as an aside.
And after that satan took possession of the heart and mind
of the so called disciple.
After the song, heading to the Gethsemane Garden,
He was struck with horrifying agony.
Three times he prayed earnestly in the Mount of Olives.
Overwhelmed with grief, He kept on fighting on His own,
blood and sweat coming down His face to the ground.
An angel from heaven came to strenghten Him in spirit.
To do the Will of the Father meant
excruciating suffering in His spirit,
pain in the soul, overcoming the desire of the weak flesh.
" Father, if it is POSSIBLE, pass this cup from me..."
Glorifying the Father meant betrayal,
Injustice, ungratefulness, loneliness, lowliness,
Insults, mistreatment, false witnesses, being called liar
For saying The Truth, nothing but The Truth":
" I AM THE SON OF GOD!"
But, worst of all,
The torment of SEPARATION from His beloved Father
Awaited Him..
Why?
He had to accept over Him the burden of all the sin in the world...
The Father would have to abandon Him,
horrified by the view of evil over THE ONLY ONE FROM HIM BEGOTTEN.
Was there ANY OTHER way out?
NO!
That was the REASON WHY He had become A MAN among men:
Emmanuel, God is WITH us.
It was NOT POSSIBLE for men
to GET RIGHT with God on any other terms!
That was THE hour.
The Father would ONLY accept an unblemished substitution victim.
There was NO ONE ELSE but Him, God among men.
That was the Hour to reverse the History of Mankind, of Earth.
" Your Will be done"
He willingly became
THE UNIQUE, PERFECT, SACRIFICIAL LAMB for all generations.
Jesus, the Lamb INSTEAD of us, of each one of us.
God's Love and Justice coming together:
The two sides of the same hand.
Before the Victory, a cup of sorrows.
The Cross for the Son of Man was a necessity,
Only the GodMan was able to recover men from the fall,
the Genesis destructive rebellion against the Creator
Had to be atoned for.
He instead of us all, on the trial cross of mankind.
"It is finished! Father, into your hands I commit my spirit"
The curtain of the Temple torn in two, from top to bottom.
Darkness around, the earth shook, the rocks split, tombs opened.
"Surely He was the Son of God!",
The centurion proclaimed.
What was Jesus' decision?
To go to hell
for me and you
to overcome death and evil in the body of a Man
His purpose?
Opening wide the Gates of Heaven...
for all men, for everybody.
Before the ascension into Heaven,
There was the descent into hell.
" Your Will be done "
The Father was glorified with His total obedience.
We ... that call Him Lord and God
Were set free from eternal bondage.
Rescued for eternity
to live with God and His Perfect Lamb for ever.
