Jesus Christ
Judah is the tribe from which we draw the line
that directly connects us to God through you
as you presently reign in the Throne of Heaven.
Entangled in the network of opposition
you did not give up to pursue the task put before you
until the journey was complete.
Satanists projected smear campaigns to bring you down
but it was not your lot to succumb to their demands.
Ultimatum was always given to you to reveal your true self
but even when you did people did not see the light that you are.
Social class and position you never set as your first priority
because yours was to call everyone to one Kingdom of God.
Cursing other people was not heard from your mouth
even when the messengers of darkness were crucifying you on the cross.
Hatred that comes with eye-for-an-eye code
was taken over by peace and forgiveness of enemies
that you even encouraged us to pray for our detractors.
Revenge is one of the actions you taught us to hate
as you taught us that only God has the power to revenge on behalf of the
down trodden.
Intimidation of minors was never your choice
because you knew that taking care of children means taking care of the
future today.
School was ever the only platform to get life for you
because you knew that it is only the Spirit of God that can set your head
above other heads.
Tremendous work that changed the world for good was placed on your
shoulders
and you accomplished it all without lodging a complaint.
