L Milton Hankins Poet Free verse

Tell Me, Who Do You Say That I Am

Tell me, who do you say that I am? 
--The Son of God, 
--King of Kings, 
--Lord of Lords?
Even you, Lord, did not call yourself divine. 

You never claimed to be 
--God in the flesh, 
--The High Priest, or 
--Prophet of the ages. 

You called yourself the lowliest of names, 
“The Son of Man.” 

Peter said, “You are the Christ, 
The Son of the Living God.” 

But I say that you are Jesus, the Christ, 
The Sacrificial Lamb of God 
Who takes away the sin of the world!
