The Lowest of the Low: Forgiveness and God's Grace

They waited, while He gasped His final breath.
There was no way to justify His death.
"He's the lowest of the low," someone said
To justify the fact that Christ was dead.

"As perfect as He was, He lived in vain."
"Perfection's not the reason for His reign."
"But who are those who carried Him away?"
"'The least shall be the greatest", so they say.

"They treated Him just like He was a fool."
"Is there a better way that He can rule?"
And soon there fell the darkness of the night.
Some wondered if He had been treated right.

"Why did He have to die to take their place,
The lowest of the low to find new grace?"
"What kind of grace is this that He commands?"
"So many questions, no one understands."

A day of mourning for mankind to grieve;
A day of prayer for all who would believe.
"God has His higher plan, yet to fulfill;
It is to be according to His will."

And thus, the Resurrection came to be;
Those who believed would soon their Jesus see
And with the Father seated up above,
The Son enthroned, forgiveness through God's love.

No one really understood the reason for the death of Christ on the cross, until He was resurrected and seated at the right hand of God the Father.
