VICTORY AT GOLGOTHA

“and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.”

John 19:17-18 ESV

Calvary is the place

Apex of His grace

Scene of His suffering

Mercy’s best offering

Between two thieves

One of whom believes

Jesus Christ crucified!

On the Cross He died

Bearing every sin

Eternal life to win

Sealed in a borrowed grave

Rising again to save!

His first breath

Conquering death

For all who believe

Humbly bow the knee

Before the risen Lord

The Living Word

Ascended to heaven

Our sins forgiven

The Holy Spirit arrives

Changing lives

Redeeming hearts

Righteousness He imparts

Faith is the key

Love’s guarantee

He is coming again!

Son of God, Son of Man

Peace He brings

Christ Jesus, King of kings!

“One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.””

Luke 23:39-43 ESV

I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until a few of years ago that my writing became more spiritual and at the same time more prolific. As I shared my poetry with my wife, Hannah, and a few good friends, they encouraged me to place the poems in book form. My first book endeavor was “Because Of Him”, published in 2017. After hearing Sammy Murimi, the director of Share International Inc., speak at our church, I decided that the proceeds from that book would be donated to Share. In 2018, Hannah and I were privileged to go to Turkanaland in Kenya on a mission trip with Share. It was a life-changing experience for us both. Some of the inspiration from that trip is expressed in my second book, “His Cup Pours Out”. I include scripture verses with my poems because most of the poems I have written were inspired by reading God’s Word. I hope that as you visit this blog, you will meditate on the scripture verses and write down your prayers and thoughts for the week. My goal for this project has always been that God would be glorified! Robert M Hinnen
