Maureen Lefanue Poet Rhyme

Calvary Concluded

“So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). 18Here they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.” Jn 19:16-18 NIV

Calvary concluded— 
Christ’s right to be King.
His Lordship to be honored;
His praises to sing.
His Father’s glory He mirrored
When He entered this world.
The love of His father
Before the universe unfurled.

Calvary concluded
Satan’s right to this place.
Became Christ’s right instead
And Satan’s disgrace.
To all of the worlds
Looking on in amazement;
At the depth of His hatred
So totally blatant.

Calvary concluded
Murder of the innocent.
Vengeance of the tempter
Never before so fervent.
He thought He had eradicated
His object of jealousy.
Only to find
No end to his journey.

For Christ the over comer
Came forth from death.
No grave could hold Him,
Nor deplete Him of breath.
His death showed the universe
The injustice of Satan.
Why his final eradication 
Is pure justice in action.
