Greatest Love

Poet: Ken Jordan Poem: Greatest Love Edited by: Sparkle Jordan written:  With all my heart, and soul I want to love like the One who was beaten to within an inch of his life..... The One who  suffered bloody gores that penetrated  his head from a crown of thorns - He is the One that knows what love is - If only we would follow his teachings we would know what love is...... With all my heart and soul I'm going to  walk with him - The One who's helpless body, absorbed unlimited pain from soldiers that hated him - Barbaric as it was, they inflicted capital punishment on an innocent man of love, and peace - Severally inflicting gashing wounds to his body with whips, chains, and other sharp objects, until blood ran from his eyes - After all this, his accuser's spat, and laughed upon him as his weak body;  barely crawling, carried a heavy wooden cross on his back, up a steep brick street, as mobs of pitiless soldiers continued their relentless  assault on a helpless (near death) soul -  By the time they reached Calvary,  just outside of Jerusalem, the Man who they called "The Prince Of Peace," was nearly gone - Still, the ruthless soldiers  showed no mercy, as they dragged his body to the top of Calvary hill, They nailed him to a wooden cross with eight inch spiked nails through his hands and feet - Thus before the  crucifixion ended,  he spoke: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." He paid the ultimate price for love - I will always follow him - the One who love's me, He gave His life so that I may live - I love you - Jesus
