His words angered the bigots,
the bullies, the hateful, and greedy.
When he forced them to look
at themselves and see their own flaws,
he triggered their hate.
When he told them to love
their neighbors, feed the hungry,
welcome the stranger, and heal
the sick, they accused him
of all the evil they saw in themselves.
He agitated their egos,
stirred the stagnant waters,
brought cleansing sunlight
to the mold of their thoughts.
And their little egos were not happy
about this.
“What have we to do with thee?
Leave us alone!” they cried.
But he loved them too much
to be silent and let them be.

His unyielding love for all God’s
children exposed their own hate
and incensed them.
He was spat on, struck, ridiculed,
and crucified for his love.

But he rose on the third day
and made breakfast
for those who loved him.

Because Love always wins.

“If you venture upon the quiet surface of error and are in sympathy with error, what is there to disturb the waters? What is there to strip off error’s disguise?

“If you launch your bark upon the ever-agitated but healthful waters of truth, you will encounter storms. Your good will be evil spoken of. This is the cross. Take it up and bear it, for through it you win and wear the crown.”
– Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 254

“The “still, small voice” of scientific thought reaches over continent and ocean to the globe’s remotest bound. The inaudible voice of Truth is, to the human mind, “as when a lion roareth.” It is heard in the desert and in dark places of fear. It arouses the “seven thunders” of evil, and stirs their latent forces to utter the full diapason of secret tones. Then is the power of Truth demonstrated, – made manifest in the destruction of error.” 
Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 559
