To Put Him to Death

Today I opened to Matthew 27:1

When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

My devotion comes to me in a poem (of course)

To blot Him out

They made a plan

To rid the world

of this one Man

They took their counsel

Against our Lord

To blot Him out

and to hide His Word

They put Him to death

Or so they thought

For He rose again

And our sins He bought

With lifeblood dripping

from a cross to view

Let it fall on me

Let it fall on you!
