Choices
Arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane,You could have called on heaven's armies;yet You allowed them to take You captive.
Falsely accused in a mockery of a trial,You could have denied who You were;yet You convicted Yourself.
Physically and emotionally abused,You could have struck down Your tormenters;yet You remained silent and turned the other cheek.
On the way to the cross,You could have thought only of Yourself;
yet You spoke with compassion to Jerusalem's daughters.
Nailed to the cross and spit upon by the crowd,You could have cursed Your enemies;
yet You prayed, "Father, forgive them."
Taunted to "Come down from the cross!"You could have done exactly that;
yet You chose to suffer and diethat I might have the choice to live in You.
Marlene BagnullReprinted from Spring 1984 issue of Face-to-Face
