But thou wast weak.



“The other gods were strong, but thou wast weak.
They rode, but thou didst stumble to thy throne.
And to our wounds, only god’s wounds can speak-
And not a god has wounds, but thou alone."
Edward Shillito, "Jesus of the Scars"

"But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:5 

Shillito was an English minister who survived the horrors of artillery, machine guns, and trench warfare during World War 1.
