The Price

Fulfilling a promise

Made long ago,

He came from the most cherished--

The most exalted Throne.

 

Though it pained Him,

He was obedient to a worn cross.

Though they beat and betrayed Him,

He considered the price… the cost.

 

Building His Kingdom in making it whole,

His life was God’s glory revealed.

A promise seen to fruition, a promise to hold--

God’s ultimate will.

 

What price Jesus paid.

What glory shone.

When upon Him did lay

The sins of the world alone.

 

We will never fully comprehend…

 

The price of grace without end.

The price of redemption in its entirety.

The price of faithfulness that was sent.

The price of love which sets us free.

I wish I could write as you do, where hope, faith, and Love jump out of every line and from every stanza. I really like how you capture the title in the last four sentences of your last stanza. Ever echoing the price that was paid, that we therefore belong somewhere and to someone, our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen! Thank you so much for sharing this, please don't ever stop writing, and believing!

Jesus allowed us sinners to have a chance.
"The price of grace without end.
The price of redemption in its entirety.
The price of faithfulness that was sent.
The price of love which sets us free."
A powerful poem with a needed message. Thank you Melinda for sharing the excellent poetry.

Prophet Jesus was truly a remarkable man........
The way he dealt with prejudice, pride and arrogance
The way he absorbed people
And called out for peace
Giving all
His own body and blood
He was a man who would stop at nothing to live in unity or at least call for it amongst people
The symbol of ultimate sacrifice

All My respect for this poem
Thank you for sharing it with me

I am in awe of the Father!
I am thankful for his grace and his love that he shows for myself and for countless others.
I want to be worthy and I realize that sometimes I fail to measure up.
I love the Father for all that He sees in Me.

I think of the price. God does not look at sin. When all of our sins came to Christ on the cross. His Father looked away from Him. That I think broke His human heart. Valentine

[Melinda McQueen]

Yes it did. His human heart......sounds like a poem......
