The Judgement

In a game of chess a move was made A move of life and death; A move to challenge the right to rule A piece that lost its breath. A dice was rolled in the game of life A chance to wound the king; Darkness sought to usurp the rule Through accusation and strife within. The judges hammer hits the bench As the Eternal One said, "ENOUGH!" "My fires will test these idle threats. I call the enemy’s bluff." Now gather before Me the people involved And I will expose the depths of the sin. Now stand your ground in the light of My glory As I purge out your motives within. It brings no pleasure to My heart The finger of accusation and strife Who made you ruler, who made you judge To challenge my leader's life? Where were you when the council was called Authorities were given and borders were set? Where were you when wisdom was needed And the balance of scales was met? What would you do with My people from here? Advise Me of when, where and how. Obviously your wisdom and knowledge is great So give Me your answer right now. Before it was, where were you? And when it comes where will you be? What once was, how was it there? And before it is, what do you see? I've given the life of My Son for you I've spilt the blood of the One. And by grace you have all that I have What more could I have done? Is the cross not enough, and the blood that was shed That you would treat my shepherd with shame? Is the crown not enough, and My life that I give That you look for someone to blame? Now humble yourself and consider your ways Take heed of the decisions you make. I offer you life, so don't choose death Repent and your ways do forsake.

Thank you for the comment. I wasn’t looking to write this poem. I was just sitting in the midst of a stressful situation - in a meeting where my loved ones were being torn apart by one causing division. Then inspiration came .....
