Come to the cross and sit at the feet of Jesus.
Come to the cross, an instrument of torture to silence the prophets.
Come to the cross, where empire and faith kiss.
Come to the cross, where justice is sacrificed for expediency.

Here, our Prince of Peace is crucified.
Here, our king lays bare the cruelty of our cravings for power.
Here, we cast lots hoping to receive wealth torn from the back of another.

Come to the cross and discover the heart of God.
Come to the cross, where love embraces the soul behind our most selfish motivations.
Come to the cross, where forgiveness outshines our deepest betrayals.
Come to the cross and sit at the feet of Jesus.
