Luke 22, 23
Futile case
Spurred by men
To try the Son of God
Again
Finding guilt
In Him they tried
And would not stop
Until He died
To make the point
Of God blasphemed
The men against His own Son
Screamed
Over, over
And over, they said
He’s an imposter
We want Him dead
How many? Seven?
Seven times
Led to the judgement
Of no crimes
The leaders should have
Called Him Lord
But they betrayed
Called for the sword
That soldiers bring Him
To their court
Then priests and scribes
Came up short
They could not trick Him
Into saying
He was God.
They were playing
A game
He did not answer who He was
They would, though,
Because
Innocence
Highest Sacrifice
Must give Himself
To pay our price.
