THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS


The spotless Son of God hung upon the cross

His flesh lacerated with stripes

those hands so often reached out in blessing

nailed to the wooden of bars;

those feet so tireless on ministries of love,

spiked to the tree;

that royal head pierced by the crown of thorns;

those quivering lips shaped to the cry of woe
