His Perfect Love Part 2

His Life, for thirty pieces of silver was sold And, with a kiss, was callously betrayed, Just as the Scriptures accurately foretold, Each prophetic word was obeyed. Like a Lamb to the slaughter he was led; The soldiers punched him and spat on his face, A crown of thorns was pressed on his head – All this he bore, to clear the human race. In front of the governor he was brought, Many questions Pilate did ask. Jesus never resisted, no, he never fought; With a firm resolve he stuck to his task. The chief priests, in accusation did say: “This man we found speaking sedition – No King but Caesar do we obey!” (Such was their appalling admission) Roman soldiers now led him to his death, To that ominously named “Skull Place”. A burning chill came upon his breath, And sweat and blood ran down his face. Now God’s only-begotten Son Like a criminal was brutally impaled. Laughing, the Satan thought he had won – He thought God’s Purpose had failed. But no! God’s Purpose was completely intact; All went according to His Divine Plan. That very important, though painful act Gave the opportunity of life for Man, Yet, those soldiers greedily rolled the dice To see who would win his cloak. They never bat an eyelid at his Sacrifice – Yes, even the Jews thought him a joke! Darkness now fell, over the Land, Even though it was the height of day; This sign came from God’s own Hand To show it was Man’s last dark Day. No more was the Devil’s death-dealing power To leave Mankind without a release; Love had conquered Evil, that very hour – Christ now gives Life to whom he does please. There isn’t the tiniest shadow of a doubt That Christ showed more than the usual Love; No one in need was ever left out Because his Father watched from above. By showing love, Jesus touched people’s hearts And, surprisingly, caused public outrage. A Model to copy was his Life, in all its parts – The Book of History’s Golden Page!
