1. Original text
When the cross is completed, the blood becomes a stream, and a hundred feet of grace flows from the west.
I was walking in the middle of the night, carrying three chickens on my back.
Five hundred lashes can crack the skin, and two thieves can hang six feet together.
The eight Gai's mourning shocked the nine ranks, and all the souls cried out after seven words.
2. Translation
The great work of redemption was completed by being crucified on the cross and trickling down. The completion of the salvation project is just like the incomprehensible and immeasurable grace of the Savior Jesus. , talent flows continuously to the world in all directions, filling every corner of the universe.
Jesus had to spend the middle of the night following the evil crowd on an unjust journey. Despite man's weakness and rebellion against Jesus' will, He still loved the world deeply and brought light to people with the crow of the rooster.
After being scourged for more than 5,000 times, the skin was torn, and the body of Jesus was lifted more than 6 feet above the ground, which is eye-catching. There were also two robbers who were crucified with Jesus, one on the left and one on the right. The evil people carefully planned and deliberately did this in order to humiliate Jesus and put him among the thieves and bandits, side by side with the gangsters. The evil crowds coming and going watched and laughed.
The extraordinary sufferings of Jesus shocked the people from all over the world. After seven words, the time has truly come when Jesus’ death will buy the salvation of all people.
