A Fragile Lamb
He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities. Isaiah 53:5
After the Easter eggs were located and the Easter baskets had been opened, Uncle Jay felt compelled to find out whether the white chocolate lamb was hollow or solid. Without thinking of the potential consequences, he squeezed the lamb. Suddenly Jays whole body stiffened, as if hed ingested some paralyzing poison. Finally his eyes moved to see if anyone had witnessed the deed. His thumb, however, remained stuck in the side of the lamb.
We waited for the reaction. A wail. A howl. A cry of anguish over the crushed chocolate candy. As the adults in the room scrambled for words that would soothe the sorrow of 3-year-old Jenna, she calmly spoke words that soothed us. Thats okay, Uncle Jay. The lamb would have been broken when I ate him anyway.
While we adults tried to make sacred memories out of Easter traditions, a 3-year-old made a sacred moment for us. She reminded us that Easter is about the perfect Lamb of God, broken so that we can be whole. Her youthful wisdom reminds me of the words we recall at communion: This is My body which is broken for you. May we taste and see that the life He offers is sweeter than anything we concoct for ourselves.
See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did eer such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown? Watts
