You Were On His Mind

The night before Jesus was crucified in the Garden of Gethsemane He wept uncontrollably and sweat drops of blood from being in such agony The intense anguish and sorrow Jesus felt as blood dripped down to the ground He knew in detail the events that were to follow and of all the lost souls that had to be found betrayed by one of His very own disciples soon after the trials would begin Although he had never done an act of evil he would be punished for all of our sin The crowd would gather yelling crucify! as he was handed the sentence of death not once did he try to repeal his innocence knowing shorty he would be taking his last breath Disfigured beyond that of any man was the torture that our Lord bestowed beaten worst then an animal he laid, in a puddle of blood from his wounds that flowed What was it that he was thinking as they drove the nails deep into his hands and feet what kept him from calling angles to help him was it the blood that he choked on, as he could barely speak? It was the love he had for all of humanity the lost , the broken and all of mankind he was thinking about how much he loved each and every one of us, cause it was you that was on his mind...
