Wild

The wild asses' rough hair 
Similar to their diet of briars and thistledown
Kicking and braying and sit down

A wild donkey was he 
Not understanding nor had sympathy
Much like the wild ass when he said,

"You do not realize that it is better for 
you that one man die for the people 
than that the whole nation perish."

Caiaphas one wild ass of a man...

He did not understand at all for 
Christ's death brought Salvation 
Redemption to all who believe.. 
By His death, all can come into 
His Kingdom and have life eternal.. 

Scripture reference: John 11:49

And I for one am extremely grateful that he died for us, otherwise we would forever perish! Only through him though can we make into his kingdom, and so I believe!
