his face contorted
a mask of pain
his sweat like blood
smeared upon his face
our Master, Jesus
waking from our tired
our bodies weak, now in
shock
at what had happened to
Jesus
praying in the garden, Gethsemane,
our cup to his lips, our
sin,
the sweat of blood flowing
foreshadowing his torture
the crown of thorns, the
whip
his body broken for us

Mark
7:20-23 (The Message)
‘He (Christ) went on: "It's what comes out
of a person that pollutes:
obscenities, lusts, thefts, murders, adulteries,
greed, depravity,
deceptive dealings, carousing, mean looks,
slander, arrogance,
foolishness—all these are vomit from the heart.
There is the source of your pollution."’
