How Much Would You Sacrifice?

Beaten beyond recognition,
No compassion for humanity;
Nailed onto a wooden cross,
For one and all to see

They gambled for His lowly robe,
With a spear, they pierced His side;
"It is finished!"... He cried out,
Then hung His head and died

Would you sacrifice your child?,
Take time to think it through;
God sacrificed His (only) child,
For the sins of me and you

I doubt anyone would make the sacrifice God made to save mankind and keep the doors of heaven open to us. This is a very sad but truthful and heartfelt write, Milton. Excellently penned! Love, Carolyn

It is mind boggling every time that I think about the sacrifice on both parts father and of son. I like the style in which you approached the subject. Keep writing. Sara
