The Sixth: The Conversion of the
Bystanders
And so, it is fulfilled: the work
has now borne fruit.
Diamond-hard hearts are softened by
his blood;
the Holy Spirit’s magnet attracts
iron minds;
the sharp Crown of Thorns draws
fresh repentance.
We see Him on the cross, believe
Him now enthroned
in high divinity just like the
Father.
He is Eternal God. Though deathly
pale,
appearing as a worm, he is the
Son of God.
O Miracle of faith! To cancel
curse with blessing,
to seek in the Forsaken One true
refuge,
life out of death, comfort for the
comfortless
and hope of help from him who underneath
his yoke
himself is languishing. God has ordained
that He, by suffering all, saves
us from all.
