Love
Came to earth as a baby,
Grew up an obedient boy,
Worked as a Carpenter,
Overcame all temptation,
Operated as a man in the power of the Holy Spirit,
Healed the sick,
Touched and cleansed the leper,
Cast out devils,
Raised the dead,
Opened blind eyes,
Opened deaf ears,
Blessed the children,
Fed thousands on a boy’s lunch,
Gave scathing rebuke
To conniving, religious mindsets,
Made whips of cords,
Drove out the moneychangers,
Forgave the sinner and
Said, ‘Go, sin no more.’
Love
Called the king a fox,
Walked on water,
Stilled the storm,
Paid His taxes,
Angered the Pharisees,
Taught Heaven’s truth,
Delegated authority,
Included Judas,
Prayed for us,
Suffered at the hands of man,
Gave up His life for us on a painful cross,
Was buried in a tomb,
Rose in victory over death on the third day,
Triumphed over satan’s works,
Ascended back into Heaven,
Sent the Holy Spirit,
Offered forgiveness to all,
Is coming to earth again!
Love lives forever!

How true, and very descriptive!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dave. Sometimes we don't think of Jesus as an earthly Man who laid aside His divinity and lived among us, operating in the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus lived life in His culture, had playmates as He grew up, probably heard lots of squabbles, played games with other boys, ate food His mother fixed (I wonder if He liked brussel sprouts), went to school, helped with chores, etc. He truly understands how we live on this earth, and knows the struggles we go through, because He went through them too.
