Acts 25:19: Certain questions...of one Jesus

Wriii what indifferent carelessness
He speaks of his expiring God,
Who died for him, and all our race,
And bought our pardon with His blood.'
Is it a trivial question then
If Jesus is gone up on high?
Unless our Surety lives again
Festus and all mankind must die.

The rich and great of Festus learn
That Jesus slightingly to name;
They in His death have no concern,
No benefit from His life they claim.
Alas, they will not now believe
That every knee to Him shall bend,
And from His mouth their doom receive
To joys or pains that ne'er shall end!
