something beautiful – 3 – v2

love made manifest
in the choice He made
the cup of Gethsemane
the man upon the cross

the thorns, the nails
piercing the Christ
love poured out
his body, his blood

something beautiful
the cup itself broken
spilled blood gathered
in a linen cloth

together to remember
gathered pieces
the gift of grace
something beautiful
in the choice He made

The spilled blood
my earlier Blogger post
“the crown of thorns, the broken cup, the spilled blood... for us”

my Facebook post
I was sitting doing my bible study when I just felt compelling to go to the church and photograph the crown of thorns with the broken cup and cloth filled with spilled grape juice from before worship yesterday. So blessed that God is able to make something so beautiful from our brokenness, through the sacrifice of Christ. — with Pastor Ruth Foss at Stetson Memorial United Methodist Church.
