Jesus, the Open Door Premiere Contest Winner

Italian octaves Who is this Jesus? He is perfection. He is the Key, yet He's also the Door, ask to gain access; enter and explore. Reflect on His names; find their connection. How can He be both Beginning and End? He's Lawgiver, Faithful Witness, and Judge; also an Advocate who will not budge, royal Sovereign, He is my loyal Friend. He's Author of Life as well as the Word; He's Cornerstone, Capstone and Solid Rock. His still small Voice calmly commands His flock; Can the Lamb of God be our Good Shepherd? Root of David yet Seed of Abraham. The Sacrifice who wears the High Priest's shoes, Servant who submits; Master who subdues, a Righteous Branch, He is the Great I Am. He's both Gift and Giver of Salvation, He is the Son of Man and Son of God, divinely human without fake façade. He is Builder, and our Firm Foundation. Reflect on His names; find their connection. Ask and gain access; enter to explore. He is the Key, yet He's also the Door, who is this Jesus? He is perfection. April 26, 2021 contest: Tell Me, Who Do YOU Say I Am sponsor: Mystic Rose Rose

Yes, in this case perfection meaning completion, not sinless perfection, only Jesus was perfect in that way. Thanks for the comment, Jeanne, 'tis appreciated.

Just went to read your entry, as I was sure you'd have one. Congratulations on your ABC acrostic, your prewrite comment, "I claim no new answer" was enlightening. Indeed Christ was, is and always will be our everything. ABC poems is how I got started writing poetry with alliteration. Thanks for the comment and have a great day.

Thanks for the comment and the contest. I appreciate the first place award and agree Jesus is the perfect Door. Some doors warp and stick but we'll never have to push Him. Likewise, He doesn't push us, the handle is on our side. Just read your tribute to mothers; a precious piece for all those facing the effects of aging on our minds. Thanks for sharing it.
