The sonnet, titled “I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: A Sonnet of Cross-Centered Triumph”, is inspired by Romans 1:16 and celebrates the unashamed proclamation of the gospel, emphasizing the cross of Jesus Christ as the source of salvation and glory. It boasts in the cross’s power to save, highlighting the union of God’s love and justice in Christ’s sacrificial death. The gospel is portrayed as a transformative force that opens eyes, offers hope, and justifies believers through faith. Rejecting worldly gains, the sonnet exalts Christ’s name and the cross as the eternal anchor of hope and glory, urging bold and joyful preaching of this truth.
In Christ’s great cross, our boast shall ever rise,
No shame in gospel truth, for it is power (Romans 1:16)
To save the soul, to open blinded eyes,
And bloom salvation’s hope in darkest hour.
The cross, where love and justice met as one,
Where Christ, the Lamb, for sinners freely died,
Proclaims God’s grace to all beneath the sun,
His righteousness through faith now justified.
No worldly gain compares to this great prize,
No fleeting boast can match the Savior’s name.
In Him alone our hearts and hopes abide,
His cross our glory, never to disclaim.
So let us boldly preach, with joy profess,
The cross of Christ, our anthem to express!
