The Jewel Of Jesus

How can the lover of the downtrodden have a favorite? The dichotomy of Jesus’ choosing is like an enigmatic wavelet. To become a jewel of Christ takes more than a confession. One must let go of the earth to reach His heaven. One must gain faith which requires humility of highest order. His jewels are unafraid of life’s inevitable disorder. And to believe that gain can come from complete loss. Willing to tear down one’s own house and bear the cross. Jesus’ jewels will give their last fish to another undeserving. To fully commit to the unseen and to forgo self-serving. Often being a downtrodden you have the edge. Due to having little to lose when on the ledge. Jesus often searches for His best Jewels in the dark. Like Paul, who in the dark made his profoundest mark.
