A description of the crucifixion of Christ.25 total reviews
Comment from Seth Hill
This author is certainly devout and passionate. However, this poem presents no new thoughts about The Passion. And the rhymes and quasi-rhymes sometimes are jarring. What do others think is more important - emotional energy, or mechanics?

Wow. You do a great job of taking a story that has been told many times and making it your own. I could feel the emotion when he shouted out his anger at being forsaken. Well done. You share your faith but also an important story.

This certainly tells the story well. It is good to be reminded especially during these difficult days. Your illustration, of course, pairs perfectly with your words.

Dear Monica, excellent spiritual poem of the man laid out upon the cross, your photo of him lying down upon it while still on the ground gives an impression of even more woundedness and helplessness. Dove

Overall work was good, however...here below
He rose again to spread the word,
A message to share,
Letting the entire world know
He died - their souls to spare.
I suggest changes on this!

Very nice, and very true.
I'm not sure of anything I'd suggest changing or correcting. It's beautifully done. Perfect at this time of uyear, even though Easter Sunday will be completely different this year.

The three stages are well depicted, the state before crucifixion, the crucifixion and post crucifixion, cause, effect and purposes all expressed well, well said.

Der Monicaa,
Great poem about our blessed Savior, hence
the 6 rating. I am happy you not only put Him on the cross, but you arose Him from the grave.
One statement you made, of which I would like to take issue with you.
"The entire world was saved from sin,
All because of Him!" Yes, Jesus suffered and died for the entire world of mankind, but only those who believe in him will be saved. "He that believeth in Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God" John 3:18

Thank you for your feedback and your comments. I guess what I was aiming for in that phrase was that we all were given the potential to be saved by Him. Stay safe and healthy!

Thank you for sharing this evangelical piece of poetry. It's always a timely message and I can think of no better time than "such a time as this." This may be just the message of hope that your readers need to hear today. If you reach only one then you've partnered with God for a miracle! Well done!

Thank you so much for your kind words. I wrote this poem back in 2004, but I figure it always has a message in it for someone.
