1 PETER 2:24

26 June 2022

 

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

1 PETER 2:24
His flesh was torn, hanging piece by piece - 
His body pierced
Falling, rolling, dripping down His brow - 
tears, sweat, and blood
Fixed are His eyes on my very being - 
piercing my soul

Broken and convicted, I fall down - 
face down in dirt
I taste the filthiness of my sin - 
it suffocates me
The gagging impedes my speech, silence - 
I am liable

A thunderous voice breaks the darkness - 
IT IS FINISHED!

The veil is torn from top to bottom - 
His presence mine
His worthiness pulls me from the dirt - 
His righteousness mine
Forever marked by devastating stripes - 
His healing mine
