Jesus said to him, “Do quickly what you are going to do.” – John 13:27 NRSV
Take some bread. I’ve dipped it for you.
Take some soul. I’ve offered it to you.
Take some hope. I’ll give you all I have.
Take some wine. I’ll pour it out.
But no, you want my life.
Take my life, then. I’ve given it for you.
Do quickly what you are going to do.
