To be read as poetry and not as religious text.
…and so we live in a world near devoid off love,
so enduring in the Grand Council held up above.
A time when joyously we accepted the Masters plan
to come to this earth, and from its dust became man.
How our Lord must be weeping for you and for me,
agonizing tears like those He shed at Gethsemane.
He took upon himself the wrongs of all mankind,
because He was the only sinless one of our kind.
No man but the Lord Jesus Christ had power to atone,
for man was oft found to be casting the first stone.
The die has been cast; therefore let it not be said,
That He died for naught for both the living and dead*.
*1 Cor. 15:29
I used the word "wrongs" rather than "sins" because most transgress rather than sin.
Robert
