Victor. Have you heard of Him? Do you know Him? The walk is named after Him. Victor Valley Trail. The trail signs point to Him. Lifetime loop. The viewpoints behold Him. Victor Vista.
He’s famous because,
There was a wooden cross that pained Him, killed Him, buried Him. Victor volunteered. The soldiers shamed Him, the title belittled Him. But He stayed.
There was a grave that held Him a minute. Though it meant to keep Him buried, it didn’t. It couldn’t. So He left it vacant.
Victor left because,
There was a gal who needed more than her sins forgiven, more than an eternal beautiful home, even more than a family reunion — someday.
She needs victory. Right now. On this earth. In this place. She needs victory over sad, over lost, over lonely. She needs right-now-victory like breathing and stepping and believing and even laughing. She needs Victor Himself to talk to her, comfort her, love her.
Because Victor stayed on the cross, and left the grave, He has power to do anything. He can give her victory now. Right now.
Victor stayed and left for her right-now victory.
Oh thank you, Jesus.
