Letting Judas Betray Him

Christ could have stopped him
denying the betrayer exit
yet loving us enough
Letting Judas betray him

Christ came for this purpose
to fulfill the law, the prophets
come to save his people
to become the sacrifice

This is what he means
to love as he loves us
to give ourselves
to those who are unworthy

Christ let Judas go
even with Satan within him
out into the night
to bring the leaders to him

Christ did not hold back
he did not deny the plan, fulfillment
we are to love as he loved
this is his new commandment.
