These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Jesus' Death and Burial

Condemned unjustly, there He stood.
The Son of God, Who came to save.
The splinters from unfinished wood
would chafe His skin to death and grave.

"It is finished," then He finally spoke,
and breathed His last to die the death.
Some villains made of Him a joke,
but no more would He take a breath.

In Sabbath rest He lay entombed.
The price was paid to vanquish Sin.
New Life would clothe Him very soon,
The Son of Man to Victory win.
