Sonnet for Easter<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are not damned for, but by, our sin.
\nIt was not God, but Judas, in pride,
\nwho twisted the straight rope, making his skin
\nproof against mercy, bottling inside
\nit a god of self who dealt out the curse.
\nPeter, thrice the traitor Judas had been,
\nsick unto death with cowardice and nursed
\nwith the gall of shame, would not take God\u2019s pen
\nand strike his own name from the Book of Life.
\nChrist risen owed him naught but worm and fire.
\nBut he would face Him. Though Isaac\u2019s stone knife
\nbe whetted on his throat, Him he desired.
\nAnd in the morning, when he saw His face
\nPeter found only Yes, Mercy, and Grace.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
