I had to write a sonnet for a creative writing class. Woke up this morning with this idea.
Sonnet VI (HE’s Still Hanging There)
HE’s still hanging there (figuratively)
After being judged, mocked, crowned with thorns, scourged;
Then crucified for the sins of the world.
HE’s still on that cross (figuratively).
An endless sacrifice for all mankind –
How much blood was sweat in Gethsemane,
As the song says “to save a wretch like me”?
I wish so many of those sins weren’t mine!
HE did not die just for the sins of the past.
Just like HE did millennia before,
HE calls to repent and to sin no more.
HIS loving grace was meant to ever-last.
What can we do to get him off that cross?
Accept HIS grace to make it worth HIS cost
