The cross – v2

a symbol of anger
of persecution
harsh retribution
punishment
and death

a symbol of life
of victory, triumph
redeemed, freed
from death
from the grave

The cross
foolishness to them
against our understanding
sealing the breach
restoring balance

God has a funny sense of humor. I have written over 28,700 faith-based poems and many times I have gone to save a poem and found that I have already written one with that title before.

Go figure; Go God! God's wisdom, the foolishness of the cross, is far greater than man's wisdom. What extravagant and unmerited love that is...
