Righteous Sin Poem by S. I. Rednow

Righteous Sin



Jesus bullied his wife and He cheated
He did drugs and it kept Him defeated
Was drunk all the time and it wasn't just wine
Then most of these things He repeated

He was a thief and a liar with flaws
He was immoral and disobeyed laws
Like a true atheist, no God can exist
And yet all of this done for a cause

He's the Lamb that was sent for the lost
Our forgiveness was bought at a cost
To reject any sins then none of us wins
So He became every sin at the cross

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I catch more flack over this poem than any other by far. Some read only the beginning and get enraged. One responded with "You're delusional. Jesus wasn't married and He never sinned." I responded to this "rebuttal" with, "Well, since I agree with you, there must be something you missed." It's a poem about HOW Jesus had to be sin free to take on our sins and HOW we are saved. God wanted to redeem mankind, but for this redemption He would need a spotless lamb (without sin) , as a sacrifice. Since no man alive was worthy, God came Himself, in the flesh, as Jesus (Isaiah 9: 6, Matthew 1: 23, John 14: 9-10) . Jesus did in fact live a sin free life. So when Jesus was crucified, He took on all the sin of mankind, past, present, and future (2 Corinthians 5: 21) . Remember, it was at this point that Jesus cried out, "My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me (Matthew 27: 46) ? " Sin separates us from God (Isaiah 59: 2) . So metaphorically, Jesus became a wife beater, a thief, a murderer, an adulterer, and every other heinous sin we commit, at the cross.
