Hard to Hear

Jesus died to save.

That is easy enough when thinking
Of the sinned against,
The child prostitute,
The bullied, the downtrodden.
Let salvation come.
Amen.

That is harder when thinking
Of the sinner,
The pimp or patron,
The bully, the tyrant.

For these, I long for justice
And not mercy, if I’m being honest.

Jesus died to save.
Thank God He’s the Savior, not me.
