Can You Hear It? Can you hear it? The crowds? The noise? Can you feel thepalm branches waving? Kids screaming and cheering? Jerusalem is
getting ready for the Messiah. He is riding on a donkey entering the
city limits. People have lined up to see the King of Kings and the
Lord of Lords. Are you at the synagogue? Do you hear the crowds
yelling, Crucify, crucify? Can you see Pilot washing his hands and
handing Barabbas back to his people? Do you see Jesus, innocent
yet the Lamb of God submits to the will of His heavenly Father? Can
you hear the screams of Jesus as he is flogged?
The cross Can you bear watching this injured man carrying
his own cross? Can you see and feel the agony of Mary, the mother
of Jesus as she walks along the Via Dolorosa? But wait did you seeJesus fall? Who is this Simon of Cyrene? He is the one who carries
the cross to Golgotha, the final destination. Jesus follows to Calvary
where he is stripped, stabbed and nailed to the cross. Can you see
the guards mocking Him vying for his clothing?
I am sure you can hear the agony and the pain of the Messiah
yet He looked at those hurting Him and said, Father forgive them
for they know not what they do. He was forgiving in the last
moments of life. His head bows and His spirit released back to God
with this phrase, "Eli Eli lama sabachthani?" which is, "My God, my
God, why have you forsaken me?" The people cry. His disciples
mourn and the world turns dark. Hours later, He is taken to the
tomb of Joseph of Arimathea and prepared for burial with myrrh
and clothed in a white shroud.
Can you see the large stone covering the entrance of the
tomb? Nothing happens yet until that Sunday morning. Do you hear
the rumble and the shake of the earth? Can you see the fear on the
faces of the Roman guards? Do you see the Angel present at the
tomb? Can you see the Heavenly lights create a runway for the
Prince of Peace? HE IS ALIVE; HE IS ALIVE INDEED. There He is
the Risen Christ. He has been victorious. He is arisen from the dead.
He holds the keys to death. Death couldnt handle Him. The grave
couldnt hold Him. He was, He is and He is to come.
An empty tomb. A Risen Christ. Will you, by faith, let thenailed scarred hands of Jesus love you today? I pray we live with
resurrection power this Easter.

Chapel friends,
Our son, Doug, just pulled out of the yard here at Cayo Deaf Institute in Belize with his family and the 8 member mission team fro
his school in Nova Scotia to begin their journey home. All of our family, 4 adults and 6 grandchildren, had been with us the previous wSo our house, which had been full of family sleeping in all of the beds and corners, now seems so quiet.
Much of my time during this stay at CDI has been spent at the drafting board revising the plans for the renovation of two bathr
in a girls dormitory. In the picture, I'm seated at a table in our living room re-drawing the plans. I have presented two alternate plan
the building and grounds committee along with cost estimates for the project. The current plan is for a mission team from Alabama
come and do much of the work in early August, just a month after the close of the triennial deaf camp on July 5.
I have also been working on a new septic system for new restrooms that
are almost completed. That means a lot of time with a shovel in my hand
digging the pit for the tank which we got hooked up yesterday.
Today many of the students left at 5 AM for the monthly deaf classes
for parents which are held in the southern part of the country. The classes
are also an opportunity for the students to see their families since they
have not been home since Christmas break.Our time in Belize will be very short this year out of concern for
Sarah's fragile health. We are scheduled to leave in 4 days and arrive home on
March 27.
Thank you for your continued prayers for Sarah's health and for the
work with the deaf here in Belize.
Blessings,
Dan Beane
