The Face in the Cloth of Jesus Christ
We have no proof it’s true but deep inside I feel it is?
The Face in the Cloth of Jesus Christ
This could be Him
my Lord
my God
the one who bore it all,
such pain he endured.
yet he never cursed them once.
Not the whip,
nor spit,
not the thorn twisted deep.
Not the iron bite of nails
not the weight of mockery
thrown like stones in the dust
This face
so faint, so bruised by time
still speaks
not in wrath
just in silence.
The kind that wraps around a soul,
and says
“I see you still”
I love you still.
He was no prince of war
no man of gold
He walked in sand, not silk
his hands were innocent, caring
his eyes were kind
his words so pure as his mind.
Jesus Christ pure, and alive.
loving peaceful And still
they beat him
stripped him
laughed as he bled
as though holiness could be broken
as though light could be killed
It hurts to look
hurts to know
this world made a cross
for the only one
who would never make one for us
This cloth
may be linen
or it may be miracle
I believe the face
it could be him.
And I weep
for what they did
and I kneel
for what He gave
Expecting nothing,
nothing in return.
He died
so we could live
and we
so often forget
how he died for us.
Even now he watches
over us. For he love all.
Amen to he who suffered
yet still forgive.

There are many things that we cannot definitely prove. Just because we can't does not mean that they are not true. I think in this case, there is quite a bit of supporting information. Great poem by the way, so deep and meaningful.
Jesus is the carpenter of living love for us all. The image is him and he is watching even with eyes closed he is watching and listening to what is going on all around. Great job.
The Shroud is a topic of interest to me, and I've done quite a bit of reading on it. There is plenty of evidence to support its authenticity, and it can be traced through history essentially back to the Crucifixion. Lovely poem, and I admire your faith.
leaves lots to think about how we would be if we suffered that much
Oh my. So beautiful, so heartbreaking.
The description of Jesus' suffering is powerful. It makes me reflect on His sacrifice. The idea of His face in the cloth is both moving and thought-provoking.
This was such a tear jerking piece. The length especially added to its effect, and the truth of his life is humbling. Really allow one to look within and ponder, as well as appreciate his unconditional love. Well done Marie, beautifully written. 👌🏽♥️
