Jesus Died For Them - Poem

This is a simple but powerful poem which could be used on Good Friday, or any situation where you are reflecting on the cross.

Text of the poem:

Judas betrayed Jesus,
Peter denied Jesus,
Thomas doubted Jesus:
Jesus died for them.

Pilate rejected Jesus,
Herod taunted Jesus,
Caiaphas framed Jesus:
Jesus died for them.

The soldiers crucified Jesus,
the disciples deserted Jesus,
the people laughed at Jesus:
Jesus died for them.

Mary wept for Jesus,
the women anointed Jesus,
Joseph buried Jesus:
Jesus rose for them.

We have doubted Jesus,
we have denied Jesus,
we rejected Jesus:
but Jesus died for us.

Hi, I used this on Good Friday at the start of an hour's meditation to help the congregation focus. It was displayed on the screen, and used responsively with everyone joining in the last lines. It was very powerful. Thank you Dave.
