Kiss the Son

KISS THE SON before the fact broken bread and a goblet of wine his body and blood shared Peter drinks and embraces to his heart the Carpenter’s vessel The youth whom Jesus loves leans upon His Lord’s breast Pretense of the betrayer no bread or wine touch his lips silver coins spill and clink thirty chimes the last supper tries mens’ hearts delivered to the cold cruel world the Word resounds louder and louder the mocking crowds still clatter THEY KNOW HIS NAME! THEY KNOW HIS NAME! the bitter pill of insanity clings to our generation they want to erase all of humanity all that God has set forth the kindling of men the innocent whom our Savior said “Suffer them not to come unto me for such is the Kingdom of God” our embrace, the haste of the haters to hate all that God creates but the Lord laughs, scoffs, rebukes, terrifies them in His wrath God tells the kings be wise be warned serve the Lord with fear rejoice with trembling kiss the Son lest He be angry BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO TAKE REFUGE IN HIM! 1/29/2019 NIV version scripture from New Testament and Psalm 2
