Contrasting Moments of the Cross

​HOW DO I KNOW THAT CHRIST LOVES ME?
HE PROVED IT ON THE CROSS AT CALVARY.
WHILE THEY NAILED HIS FEET AND WRISTS,
HIS CLOSEST BETRAYED HIM WITH A KISS.
IN HIS SACRIFICE, OUR PRICE WAS BOUGHT,
WHILE OTHERS AROUND HIM WERE CASTING LOTS.
WHAT OF HUMBLENESS AND HUMILITY?
HE RIDE TO HIS OWN SACRIFICE ON A DONKEY.
MARY SANCTIFIED HIS BODY WITH PUREST OF OILS,
THE GREATEST LESSON OF HISTORY BEGAN TO UNCOIL.
A LAST MEAL OF COMMUNION, SOLEMN, THEY ASSEMBLED.
IN THE FINAL HOURS, THE SKY WAS DARK, THE EARTH TREMBLED.
DISCIPLES WHO FOLLOWED JESUS PROMISED TO BE TRUE,
FLED FROM ACKNOWLEDGMENT – ONE EVEN WITHDREW.
SIMON ‘FROM THE COUNTRY’, WHO BORE WEIGHT OF THE CROSS,
INVITED TO THE PATH THAT LEADS, AS SINNERS WHO ARE LOST.
AS THE PEOPLE SPIT, MOCKED, AND CROWNED HIM OF THORNS,
HE THOUGHT OF THE DAY I WAS TO BE BORN.
AS THEY GAVE HIM VINEGAR WHEN HE DID THIRST
HIS BLOOD COVERED EVERY SIN AND CURSE
A NON-SACRAMENTAL DEPICTION OF SALVATION,
THE THIEF ON THE CROSS THAT STILL SHAKES THE NATIONS.
THE UNBELIEVERS, MOCKERS AND THOSE UNKIND,
IN THE FINAL HOURS, WERE QUOTED, CHANGING THEIR MINDS.
THOUGH THOUSANDS OF ANGELS COULD’VE COME TO HIS RESCUE
HE CHOSE TO PLEA – FATHER, “FORGIVE THEM, THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO'”
SO, JUST HOW DID THIS GOSPEL STAY INTACT?
IT RESONATES, IT RESOUNDS, IT IMPACTS.
TODAY, MAY I ASK, DOES YOUR HEART HOLD IT TRUE?
DO YOU SEE HIS LOVE, OR DO YOU STILL CHOOSE YOU?
