  • Calvary Love

    I am loving this new poem by John Piper, entitled "Calvary Love."

    Words here for convenience, or click through for an artistic rendition of the poem.
    He held the world between his thumb and finger
    like a tender grape.
    And when the spike was driven through his hand,
    his muscles flinched with world-creating force,
    and crimson wine dripped from his fingertips?
    But with omnipotent resolve
    he neither dropped nor crushed his grape.
