We fell
and He came from the highest place
And He purposely took the fall for us
He saved us Himself!
God didn’t send another
He became one of us
to personally save us!
Why would He do that?
Life can be so hard
so miserable
so painful and hopeless
and worse!
Why would He do this?
Because He owns everything?
And everyone?
He made us
and all that is
It’s all His
and He is love!
and He loves what He made
because in the beginning it was good
very good!
But evil separated us
So He came from His throne
by a humble virgin
in a humble stable
with humble witnesses
shepherds of sheep
and grew in a humble family
learned a humble trade
and when His Hour was to come
He chose humble followers
fisherman
tax collectors
and He washed their feet!
and told them”the first shall be last and the last shall be first.”
“He who will be greatest must be a servant of all.”
He was so different from His contemporaries
they were proud self-seeking and greedy for gain!
and for that they hated Him
because the common people loved Him!
so evil men plotted to kill Him
but He knew it
that was why He came
it was the passover festival
when they recall God’s mercy and salvation
by sacrificing a lamb
a perfect lamb without spot or blemish
Jesus was that lamb!
the only man who never sinned
would pay for the sins of many
betrayed by a kiss
of a former follower
under the cloak of darkness
they came to take Him
but He was waiting for them
to freely give Himself!
A trial of lies
they mocked Him
and beat Him
and crushed a crown of thorns on His humble head
they lashed His humble back with hooked whips
and spit upon His humble face
and plucked His humble beard
yet He opened not His humble mouth
He waited humbly as the charade unfolded
though they said,”I find no fault in this man!”
the authorities gave in to political pressure
and washed their hands of responsibility
for this humble,innocent servant
who never beguiled or hurt anyone
yielded His humble body
to a humble cross
for all of us
He made the journey from the highest place
to the lowest place
humility never went so far
or loved so perfectly
to be so despised and rejected by men
“He came unto his own,
and his own received him not.”
“But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name:”
His name is Jesus.

“The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Rev.19:10 The Spirit bears witness to this testimony of Jesus. Thank you for sharing this creative expression to the glory of our Savior.
