White Pristine unscratched - poised
in a jumble, twisted and thorny
His tender skin exposed to rapier slashes, the warm wool torn and muddied.
Achingly soft eyes, gently gaze into the turbulent mass
pitying the agony of the lost sheep
His eyes turned upward searching
seeking
questioning
longing
Harsh cries spill from the masses
jerking at His soul
wrenching
stabbing
slamming through His brain.
Once again He looks up - seeking.
What we learn from the saved thief on the cross is that we are all sinners in desperate need of salvation and that the only path to a true relationship is through the realization of our sins and an honest repentance of our sins - major and minor. A sin is a sin and blocks human attempts to reach God. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you."
