Poem
“You are not yet fifty years old,” the Jews said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!” “I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds. John 8:57-59 NIV IS HE A MADMAN You say he is a prophet, or is he a madman? He claims to be God - they knew what “I am,” meant. Great claims, great God, who walked in our midst, but for such a short time. He came to do His Father’s will, He, in the flesh, the Son, and then He left, but not without leaving us the third part of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. You say he is a prophet, or is He a madman? His claims were high. He was not a learned man, being from a poor family. Yet, everyone claims His name either with blessing or curses. On the tongue, each man holds the name of Jesus Christ. This “mere man,” the mannah from heaven with miracles and lofty sayings. If He had been a madman, he would have been with the likes of those who satisfied their lust one way or another. This man went to the cross with stripes too hard for any other man to bear. He never showed Himself to take advantage but rather gave Himself wholly to His task. Was He just a prophet? Weighed against the likes of the rest, He stood above them all. Jesus Christ is many things - Savior, Lord, the Way, the Truth, the Life, Miracle Worker, great Teacher, “I Am,” but a madman, that is crazy. Awaken to the truth. God walked amongst His creation. As Abba Father, God was always reigning in the heavenlies, yet the mystery of His flesh (and His spirit) that was to come, indeed did come, and will come again. Be watchful, vigilant, walk in the way of truth and light. Sin’s payoff is hell. Mercy and Grace has visited us, spurs us on in sanctification, after you commit yourself to Him. He suffered, died, was buried, and rose again. He rose up into the clouds and promised to return. His return is imminent. Are you living, for Jesus Christ, today? He promises - we hope, not as in a wish but in knowing and believing. 8/31/2022
