Teacher of Love

He had a human body,
but had a heart out of the ordinary.

He Loved everyone he met;
tax collectors, gentiles, Romans,
Caiaphas, lepers, Judas....irrespective
of who they were or what agenda
they held against Him.

He forgave the ones who plotted
for His arrest,
and those who nailed Him on the cross.

He still forgives us today,
for the follies we commit everyday.

If we are able to embrace His compassion,
we can forgive our haters, back stabbers,
con men, robbers.....and even our own
families and friends.

Israel will be at peace with Palestine;
racism will cease to exist;
nuclear warheads will be destroyed;
modern slavery will cease;
Syrians will return to their homes....

If we follow the steps of Jesus,
Heaven will come down on Earth!
