Guile

GUILE..©2020 

JESUS POSSESSED NO GUILE, THE SCRIPTURES ARE TRUE,  
HE WALKED AS A MAN THROUGH THIS WORLD A WHILE.
SENT TO ATONE, BUT HIS MANNER WAS KIND 
NO DECEIT WAS FOUND IN HIM, BUT ALONE.

DISHONEST HE WAS NOT,  HONESTLY HE SOUGHT GOD'S WILL.
FATHER NOT MY WILL,  BUT THINE HE REPLIED PRAYING FOR
THE CUP TO PASS.  RESPONSIBILITY WAS HIS TO FILL. HE SANCTIFIED
HIS CHURCH AND CLEANSED IT AND WASHED IT WITH WATER BY THE WORD.

HE IS A FRAUD THEY ACCUSED, PROCLAIMING TO BE GOD. 
JESUS WAS,  OFFERED THE WHOLE WORLD IF HE WOULD SURRENDER.
ATTACKED AT HIS WEAKEST POINT WHEN HE HUNGERED AND THIRST.
FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS,  HE NEVER FORFEITED HIS SPLENDOR.

WHO WILL BE THE GREATEST IN OUR ARENA AS WE FIGHT.
BUSINESS, SPORTS WORLDLY PLEASURES.  WE ARE,  CAUGHT UP IN A 
WORLD OF DECEPTION. WHAT COMES FROM THE MOUTH IS FROM THE
HEART.  SPARE THE ROD SPOIL THE CHILD WILL NOT LEAD TO PERFECTION.
GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN TO LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR A FRIEND.
