A Picture of the Cross


A PICTURE OF THE CROSS


It's the picture of violence,
Yet the key to peace.

A picture of suffering,
Yet the key to healing.

A picture of sorrow,
Yet the key to joy.

A picture of death,
Yet the key to life.

A picture of utter weakness,
Yet the key to power.

A picture of capital punishment,
Yet the key to mercy and forgiveness.

A picture of vicious hatred,
Yet the key to love.

A picture of supreme shame,
Yet the Christian's supreme boast.
