Someone gets hurt

as a matter of course
like children running
breaking the rules
maybe like running with scissors

Someone gets hurt
something of value gets broken
so it is with free will
choosing to sin against God

The relationship with God broken
the Savior had to suffer
to die, to be crucified
because of our rebellion

Stepping in to take our sin
to drink of that cup
the sin of the world upon Him
because God loves us that much.
