He Was a Man

Portraying the humanity of the suffering Christ then reminding us Who He really is.

 http://www.authorsden.com/visit/author.asp?AuthorID=181889

 

At this solemn time when we are gently reminded once against of what the Saviour did for us, I would like to share a poem to observe the season.

 

 

 

Jesus

 

 

 

 

He was a Man

 

Youthful, loving, strong.

 

He did not seek the pain,

 

The crush of thorns

 

On His noble, godly brow.

 

He was a Man

 

With mangled, whip-lashed back

 

The one whose soul is pure

 

Endured our lack:

 

Our burdens, shame and guilt.

 

 

 

 

He was a Man

 

Whose bloodied, nail-ripped hands

 

Had healed, guided, taught,

 

And loved each one

 

Though wretched, heartsick, lost.

 

 

 

 

He was a Man

 

The cup He did not spurn,

 

Though mocked by maddened crowds

 

Broken, bleeding torn

 

Hung on a cursed cross.

 

 

 

 

He is our God

 

Weighed down by all our sins

 

He carried so much blame

 

To set us free

 

Forgiving through it all.

 

 

 

 

Oh Victory!

 

From a splendid throne he rules

 

With power to set men free

 

From Satan's bonds so cruel

 

The Resurrected King!

Beautiful, Marilyn! He is the God-Man who died to save us, and you made that so clear and inviting.

Well done Marilyn. A wonderful portrayal of the sacrifice of Jesus which He made for all of us. Yes, we Christians believe unbelievable things but in the process we become stronger.

Easter Blessings,

John Michael Domino
