The Same Attitude - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Christ’s purpose
in showing us the way
teaching of the love of God
our neighbors’ load lightened
that we would have
the same attitude as Christ
when they do us wrong
forgiving them of their sin
their transgression
humble in our walk
our path in this life

Father forgive them, for they know not what they do
(Luke 23:34).

Father forgive them, for they know not what they do

Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise
(Luke 23:43)
Woman, behold your son: behold your mother
(John 19:26-27).
My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?

I thirst

It is finished
