spikes, not nails


spikes, not nails
driven into Jesus
to hold him to the cross
to cause him great pain
spikes, not nails
words are important
facing the truth
of our costly sin

the anger of the thorns – 2


the anger of the soldiers
tasked to kill Jesus
taking him in the night
bringing him to Pilate
the anger of the thorns
twisted, knitted
made a crown to mock him
to cause him great pain

the anger of the cross


the anger of the cross
of the nails that held him
the spiked driven into
his unblemished flesh
the anger of the cross
in the words they shouted
cursing God dying to
redeem our brokenness
