Searing Loss

Most -- meaning 'bridge' -- is a short Czech film. It's the story of deep love between a father and a son, and the agonizing pain of sacrifice. Two years ago Drew and I first saw a clip similar to the one posted below. Most has haunted me ever since, burned with the anguish and grief the Father experienced that day. 


how deep the father's love for us
how vast beyond all measure
that he should give his only son
to make a wretch his treasure

how great the pain of searing loss
the father turns his face away
as wounds which mar the chosen one
bring many sons to glory

- Stuart Townend, 1995

  1. We've used Most during an outreach event before, and it's truly haunting. Powerful, though, and gets the point across in a very tangible way. Wow.
