Binding God in Chains

Literally that night in Gethsemane
Christ submissive, going
willing following God’s path
the plan for his fulfillment
all glory, all honor
giving to the soldiers
his body for the disciples
out of his great compassion
yet they bound him in chains
leading him to Annas, to Caiaphas
to the treachery, the false trial
on to his crucifixion,
his audience with Pilate
Binding God in chains
making the divine subservient
making the infinite small
within our control
