Raphael in the 16th Century of 1505 painted about Yeshûa,
Anglicized is Joshua, who Michelangelo Buonarroti
Remembered in renaissance art, including the Sistine Chapel, and
Carl Heinrich Bloch made come alive Jesus in paintings for us to know thee.
Mary His Mother and Joseph His Stepfather loved and cared for
Yeshûa in Bethlehem of the land of Jerusalem, then Egypt,
Nazareth also a town in Galilee, so prophets are verified true,
Stained-glass windows depict much of His life, as the ship in the sea tipped.
Life and light riding on white colt tradition for King’s entry into the city
Jerusalem past lilies, over palm fronds in beautiful springtime,
Hosanna! they shout; save us now King of Israel, and the city was moved,
For triumphant was His ride and glorious was His countenance,
as people sing rhyme.
The Great Plan of Salvation is put into effect through Jesus’
Sufferings, Atonement, Crucifixion on Calvary, and death,
Michelangelo’s 1499 pietà shows Mary’s mourning and sadness
Yet glorious Easter morning resurrection brings our Savior and
our Redeemer eternal breath.
