The Man

The Man

A Poem by PoetryofProvidence

A man acquainted with sorrows and grief

be it then was bruised for our relief

the ones  ruling over them kept them in pain

but struck was he so we might Life regain

 

All like sheep have wandered astray

but he announced to the crowds Gods new day

no violence could be found in his actions done

he spoke of peace in the kingdom to come

 

He fed the hungry and gave to the poor

tender of heart and kind to his core

oppressed was he and sore afflicted

falsely accused by traditionalists indicted

 

A quiet man who spoke of verity

taught of loving kindness and mercies charity

the man he was did the broken draw

in every point did he fulfill Gods Law

 

The works of his hands righteous and clean

his judgment was pure and never mean

a candle whose light has dispelled the dark

his praise for his Father did all his works mark

 

Jehovah pronounced this the Son he approved

to him was beloved and the World reproved

no harm could be found in his heart or hand

those who follow him will the same stance stand

 

He sought not mens praise or their vainglory

yet acquired Gods love but by man treated poorly

unlike the kings who Lord over their kin

washed the feet of disciples those lower than him

 

Did demonstrate he how to walk Truths Way

by example showed traits his disciples display

with accurate judgment in all that he did

to become like him to his disciples he bid

 

We are not worthy of God to approve

if we do not from our lives violence remove

those who hate and practice manslaughter 

cannot become his Son or his daughter

 

To become like him the Truth you must drink

it must cleanse from you what the world think

upon his teaching consume as your bread

without his life in you , you are still dead..

 

 

sources Ps 18 , Is 53  and the gospels
