The Man From Nazareth

Useless legs were made strong and walked, Deaf ears heard and the speechless talked. Sightless eyes were filled with light, And all marveled at these wondrous sights. With just a word, the demons fled, A friend who died, raised from the dead. Lepers were healed with a loving touch, Sinners forgiven, though they had sinned much. At a wedding, He turned water into wine. With tax collectors and "sinners" he dined. His actions made the Pharisees mad, Their hardened hearts made Him sad. He was just a carpenter, the people thought, Until they heard the way He taught. As He walked among them as a man, They were blinded to His heavenly plan. Who was this man from Nazareth? Who promised life instead of death? Though with human feet this earth He trod, He was Jesus, the Son of God. 6/18/13

Kim, my faithful friend, this is a marvelous tribute to the King of kings. I get the same feeling reading this as I got when writing "A King's Calling" some time ago. I think you will like it. You might also like "Jesus in the Temple." You are indeed special..... Jake
