Almost Persuaded

I am the one building my house upon the sand. I am the one blind and leading the blind. I am the one rich and exceedingly sorrowful. I am the one making a vow I will not fulfill. I am the one unable to cast the first stone. I am the one bringing the head of John the Baptist. I am the one selling my wares in the Temple. I am the one giving the kiss of betrayal. I am the one bearing false witness, spitting in His face. I am the one with the angry crowd crying, "Crucify Him!" I am the one standing at the foot of the cross. I am the one almost persuaded.
