The Stranger

THE STRANGER A stranger had come to Galilee it seemed he had mystical powers. Crowds followed wherever he went, listened to him teach by the hours. He taught them of the love of God, His words not forgotten to be. Nor all the miracles he performed, lepers cleansed, and blind made to see. This stranger showed much compassion when healing the sick and the lame. He taught with such authority for Jesus was this strangers name. He became a stranger no longer, as His fame spread throughout the land. He was the Son of God who'd bring salvation, as His Father planned. The Bible has recorded His life and the reason He came to earth. To give His life a ransom for all So man could receive new birth. He died, but rose up from the grave, Though still has the scars He bore. Receive him as your Saviour and Lord, He'll be a stranger to you no more. Copyright © Vivien Wade July 5, 2014
