Who Was This Man

Who was this man who came to earth to help us one and all? Who was this man who loved us so for us HE took the fall? Who was this man who walked the earth in spirit and in truth? Who was this man with humbleness, so strong, did nothing wrong, was always right but laid down HIS life for us at Pilite's throne? Was this the man the Grama spoke of in her stories of Joseph, Mary and Ruth? Was this the man that Ma referred to when in my youth I'd complain, Ma, I try to treat every body right but bad thing always seem to happen to me an people scandalize my name: Mom's reply would always be, "Child, sit down and listen to me. They did the same to Jesus Christ, a perfect man, no sin at all; For us this man, this perfect man, for us HE gave HIS all: HE lived HIS life as if HE were HE were poor when HIS FATHER has riches galore: HE walked along the dusty streets bending down many times a day: He bent down to pick up spirits of those who spirits were low; HE bent down to pick up broken hearts putting joy where there was once woe; HE bent down to pick up dirt for mud to restore sight to the blind; Then lastly, my dear daughter, HE bent down to lie upon a cross to die for your sins and for mine.
