The Colors of Love

[142 words] Purple was the robe, the beaten Jesus wore (Matt. 27:28) Brown, the thorny crown which in much pain He bore (Matt. 27:19) White, the sinlessness from which He didn’t shrink (Heb. 4:15) Yellow, the bitter gall that He’d refuse to drink (Matt. 27:34) Green, the lovely plants nearby Calvary’s hill (John 19:41) Red, the precious blood that today heals us still (1 Pet. 1:18-19) Orange, the noon-day sun before it was covered o’er (Luke 23:45) Black, the darkened sky as black as ne’er before (Luke 23:44) Gray the ashen hue of a dying Man’s face (Luke 23:46) Blue the beautiful heav’n whence came God’s saving grace (1 Pet. 1:10-12) How vivid Calv’ry’s scene emblazoned from above Could it be God brought forth colors to remind us of His love?
