The One Named Jesus

When God was man and we could see The love He gave for you and me He was mocked hated and despised His love was foreign to our eyes The wicked said,now stop! Don't preach It's we who must now preach and teach But He denied the lies they taught To give the bread the Father brought Now Satan's men were angered when They learned that Jesus would not bend Then Satan gave his men a plan By which he thought to bind this strong man They took Him in the dead of night To try Him when they had no right When they approached He did not flee This was the path to set man free His life He gave upon the cross He paid sins price it was the cost Though Satan thought he'd won the fight Twas Christ who'd have the final might Three days and nights His body lay In the tomb to decay But on the fourth He did arise The tomb would shake for He's alive The Satan said what shall I do The son of God has broken through Yes He arose disciples say To give new life and light mans way

:) What a lovely piece about Jesus. There is no other name under heaven given to man by which he can be saved...Except the name of Jesus. You brought Isaiah's words to light in a poem....He was despised and rejected. A man of sorrows, acquainted with grief...and with HIS stripes...we are healed.

Thanks for your insightful comments. I appreciate them very much. I wrote a trilogy of poems about Jesus a decade ago. The 2 you have reviewed are part of that trilogy. I reworked them before posting. I will be submitting the third one this weekend when I have time.
