In the 1959 epic Ben-Hur there is a powerful scene after the Crucifixion of Christ. His blood runs down a hill in the rain and two female lepers are healed. This brief scene sums up the power of the Gospel of Jesus. This Haiku reflects the moment.

He bled out for us

The remission of our sin

Was nailed to the Cross
