Crucify?

Mislead and tainted, humanity sought to...

C ripple a threatening ministry,
R uin a dangerous reputation,
U ndermine a blasphemous claim,
C rush the hopes of faithful followers,
I nsult the concept of a personal god,
F urnish themselves with a 'public example' of the consequences of rebellion and,
Y ield to their own rules their own way.

But good and awesome in His nature, God...

C reated an intercessor for sin's price,
R edefined the concept of 'God' from a distand diety to that of Personal Savior,
U nlocked heaven's doors for His trusting children,
C rumbled underfoot Satan's plans for man's demise,
I ntroduced humanity to His ultimate compassion for them,
F reely gave, opening the invitation of His love to...
Y ou. He thought of you as He bled, and rose, and won.
