I would die for a good man

After Romans 5:6-11

I would die for a good man

for sure, I think, or so I tell myself,

I guess I would, maybe,

a good person accused unfairly or

plotted against or betrayed or treated

unjustly. I would do that, I think,

surely we would do that.

But to die for an evil man? A murderer.

a thief, a rapist, a child abuser,

a wife beater, a terrorist, or even worse,

someone who votes differently? Would

I die for any of them, any of those people?

I think not.

I think not.

But he did.
