At the Foot of the Cross

The ground is level at the foot of the cross.

We are all equal in God’s sight; none are dross.

For behold, the extravagant grace of our God!

He sees us all needy, yet does not rule with a rod.

His sacrifice, the beatings, the scars, His blood.

The humiliation he faced as his disciples stood

On Golgotha’s Hill, slivers deep from that wood.

Bloody hands and feet, He would breathe if he could.

God found the only way to begin again on that day.

But what of his followers, most began to betray.

“If you are the Son of God”, come down some say.

Some were faithful, but all they could do was pray.

Christ was the sin eater, God sees us as spotless.

Because of Him we can daily pray and confess.

We are forgiven, our sins forgotten, wiped away.

A brand new day we learn and we begin to pray,

I Corinthians 1: 18 ~ For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.’

Philippians 2:8 ~ And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death – even the death on a cross.

1 John 1:10 ~ If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Colossians 2:14 ~ Having cancelled the written code with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us: He took it away, nailing it to the cross.
