Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations also of the mountains trembled and quaked, because he was angry. Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him. He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet. He rode on a cherub and flew; he came swiftly on the wings of the wind. He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him, thick clouds dark with water. Out of the brightness before him hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.

Lord, Your anger because of my lostness, shook the very foundations of creation. For You, the Word, became flesh and dwelt among us, paying the most extreme sacrifice possible—that the One who spoke all into existence would suffer disgrace, abuse and punishment unto death, the greatest of all sacrifices to restore me to wholeness.
