I think humans are fascinated with curses, the fearful unknown and the powerlessness we feel in face of adversity and hardship we can’t really account for.

But there is good and bad news. The bad news is it is worse than you thought. We are irrevocably broken and under a curse. It is not something localized to your immediate family or mine but passed down upon all of us, and we are powerless to break it but we can make it worse for ourselves. The good news is, someone has power to break the curse, and without our asking, in spite of our own misguided attempts to alleviate the burden of this curse, he became a curse for us, broke the curse by fulfilling it’s sting and because he was innocent now has power over the curse.

All that remains is that we cease for our own attempts and trust his complete work on our behalf.
