An Immoral Act

Our sin so great, complete,
our abandonment of the law
enslaved once more
as they had been before
Needing the lamb’s blood
that God’s wrath would pass over
to protect us in our homes
in our living, in our bodies
Our rebellion complete
putting Christ, God on trial
claiming He blasphemed
when we were the ones guilty
An Immoral Act crucifying Jesus
but the loving choice of God
to completely redeem us

An Immoral Act
partially remembering negative comment
by “Scott Atheism”
on January 25, 2014
in response to my poem
“I held my Savior”
(which was actually my attempting to speak as John the Baptist
as he baptized Jesus, not about the crucifixion directly)

He said:
@raymondafoss @UpperRoom Why does God even need a HUMAN SACRIFICE? Say NO to HUMAN SACRIFICES and SCAPE GOATING! It is IMMORAL!
