seconds before disaster
no but seriously i think this is such a powerful shot. despite everything, jey in this moment didn’t see his abuser, but the man he grew up with. the fact that he was still willing to open his heart and forgive him after being mistreated for years is so heartbreaking

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let all their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
Here we go
Joy, unspeakable joy
An overflowing well
No tongue can tell
Joy, unspeakable joy
It rises in my soul
Never lets me go
He rules the world, with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love
Joy!
Joy, unspeakable joy
An overflowing well
No tongue can tell
Joy, unspeakable joy
It rises in my soul
Never lets me go

“Do you not know that those of us who were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?” [Romans 6:3]
Baptism is evidence that we are implanted into Christ, baptized into him. But what interest do we gain in him by being baptized? “His death,” Paul says. If we are indeed baptized into Christ, beyond mere formality, then we are baptized into his death. The apostle gives us an explanation of being baptized into the death of Christ in Romans 6:4, 6. “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, we may also walk in newness of life.
Knowing that our old man is crucified with him, rendering the body of sin without effect, we should not serve sin as a slave anymore.” He is saying, “This is being baptized into the death of Christ, namely, to be dead to sin, to have our sins put to death just as he was put to death for our sins. This was done so that we may be raised up to grace and newness of life, just as he was raised up to glory.” He tells us why we have this baptism into the death of Christ: “Our old man is crucified with him, so that the body of sin might be destroyed,”2 [NT:4957 sustauroo]. It is “crucified with him,” not as to its timing, but as to its cause. We are crucified with him,
meritoriously, in that he procured the Spirit for us to mortify sin;
efficiently, in that from his death virtue blooms to enable us to crucify sin;
representatively, in that we will certainly be crucified to sin, just as he was for our sin.
This is what the apostle means: by his death, Christ destroyed the works of the devil, procured the Spirit for us, and killed the reign of sin in believers in such a way that it will not realize its goal, which is to control and destroy us.
