For the past few days John Piper has been releasing a couplet via Twitter from a poem I am guessing is titled My Crucified Christ. I have rejoiced in these lines and I hope they edify you as well. I will update this post if he tweets anything further.
My Crucified Chrsit
Condemned to fill this ancient festival:
You are my Holy Criminal.
Cut off from life by every man, and worse:
You are my dear All-blessing Curse
Reviled with bitter gall in every slur:
You are my Sweetest Vinegar.
Defiled, defamed by my defection:
You are my Perfect Imperfection.
This is absolutely beautiful.
