Bloodstained Hands
Bloodstained Hands
By Arley Steinhour 071513
With blood, he's covered, end to end,
It's application, he won't defend,
They look upon his bloodstained hands,
And tightly apply, restraining bands.
The bands, cause pain, on wrist and leg,
As captors demand he kneel and beg,
Snatches of beard, are ripped from his face,
Dragged off to Judgment, he tries to keep pace.
The chain and binders restrain his being,
Viewed with contempt, from they, the unseeing,
Before the Judge, charges brought, beyond reason,
'His obvious guilt, demands Death, for Treason.'
'You must dispense justice,' demands, Priestly Class,
'From lips of the Judge, Death-order must pass.'
Released is Barabbas, a Thief, the mobs choice,
So, the Innocent must die, in accord with their voice.
Three days, after death, the man resurrected,
Proof on 'Firstfruits,' Death's Sting is dissected,
Then, on Fiftieth day, God graced Pentecost,
With Holy Spirit, to mark the Saved from the Lost.
We all know the story, branded on our heart,
Faith, in that 'Man,' then, God's family be a part,
By the Grace of God, through Repentance we be,
Blessed by God's 'Son Sacrifice,' into HIS Family.
Now, comes the worst part for those who refuse,
Die unrepentant, Joy filled Eternity, you'll lose,
The time of God's Grace, soon comes to an end,
Those, then, not saved, Sin they must Defend.
A Thousand years, over man, Jesus Rules,
For the Road to Salvation, all have the tools,
No pressure, from Satan, as he's locked away,
Natural tendencies in each soul, will show its sway.
After Millennium, the Satan's set free,
With a Season, to gather, many that 'be,'
Score, without number, will join his rank,
One word from God, Second Death is His spank.
There's one final Judgment, White Throne it's call,
Based on works, some will not fall,
Those that 'fall,' not in 'Life book,' are sent,
To be with Satan, and others, in Lake of Torment.
We have the 'choice,' of where we want to be,
A place, of Gross Torment, or, Joy-Filled, Eternity,
While available, with Faith, Repentance, and God's grace,
We are baptized into Family as Jesus' Heavenly Race.
So, Drink of His blood, Eat of His flesh,
In Holy Communion, does Spirit Refresh,
Do that, every time, in memory of Him,
Soon, our 'Real Life,' does begin.
AMEN
