The Spirit knows the Son is King-
He knows the Father willed it.
God is The Sovereign Dayspring:
No one can stop Him.
With divine Authority
Justice comes.
Without fear we would not know His Greatness.
Without His Love, we would not know Him.
–
Let me paint a scene:
A dark void.
Nothing is, or will ever be in this place,
But the Spirit moves over
The sea of potential
And breathes over it….
And it’s you,
Infant in a womb,
Red and yellow,
Light shining through your eyelids,
Painting blood vessels
Against the sun.
And you arrive
In a stream of living water,
Made perfect and fantastic
In creation, a creation,
And are greeted by smiling faces
Loving you sacrificially,
One by one.
Earth is your dominion.
You move by the grace of God.
You witness bountiful beauty,
Taste joy and ponder meaning,
Alongside sin’s consequence
And have the desire for eternal Goodness
Resting in your heart.
You are taught right from wrong
And then given choices,
And each response is wrong.
You fail by nature,
Sick at heart, flawed.
You hurt others deeply,
Lack remorse.
You scream in swollen pride,
You squander, make vile,
And forget to count His Blessings.
Deeply, you need mercy
To survive any court of Judgment
Held in the heart.
–
Brother, me, too!
Brother, let me help you,
And you help me!
Let us walk on these stormy seas
To meet our Savior,
Finally a Son worthy of the blessing!
He was a lamb without sin-
Unblotted by the curse.
But He chose in knowledge
“To give up this life
So He could take it again,”
Aware that this bloody ground
Screams for justice!
“For the glory set before Him,
He endured the cross,
Despising the shame!”
Why?
For our forgiveness!
His Father had promised freedom to a multitude,
Enslaved to darkness,
But it required His Word to spread:
–
The Word was an eternal tree
And the Seeds fell into the Wind,
Tossed into the future-
–
He died for His Message,
For good news given
To a world of tragedy.
–
Who do we repent to?
The Father, The Creator.
How do we know Him?
His Son, His Word, His King.
What Wind could carry
The rejuvenating Seed
Into my wicked and sick soul?
His Spirit hovering over the deep.
–
Jesus was God’s Son-
Sent purposefully.
He is the Promised King
Of the Future blessing!
He came to this world
And spoke things no one ever said,
And when The Father said,
“Son, you must suffer and die,
But you know why,”
The Son of Man wept
Because He did not deserve
A Good Father’s wrath-
He did not want to die
A sinner’s death.
Jesus chose to obey, to trust,
And His Love for the Father
And for us
“Covered a multitude of sins”
For those who seek His Forgiveness!
–
His death
Opened the door to Life-
He was the first to enter!
“Open the Gates
So the King of Glory
May enter in!”
Son of Peace!
Prince of Life!
God gave everything to be inherited to His Son!
And part of the inheritance is a People of God!
The Creator of all we know
And know by,
Sent a letter by His Son
Showing us where a narrow gate
Can be found,
A servant’s door
We are allowed to enter
By grace and faith alone!
–
Jesus, Decided King,
Said, “It is finished!”
–
We do not get to decide
What Is,
For we are in a state of becoming.
But we are welcomed by God
To join what Is-
And let the seed of this Word
This knowledge
Be watered.
Let His Light shine upon It
As His Son shines on the Throne!
Let His Breath bring us to Life,
His Spirit given
Abundantly for us!
–
Be saved!
Take His Flesh,
Read the Bread-
Be saved!
Do not hesitate,
Act in faith-
Be saved!
Let Living Water pour upon you,
Cleanse the filth of yesterday.
Let Rivers overflow You
From the Throne of His Tomorrow!
Blessed King,
My only Assurance!
Eternal Seed, Son of Man,
Laid down His life
And took it once more,
So you would know
He is the way, the truth, and the life:
He Speaks to you Sovereign,
As only a King might:
His Name means Salvation:
Yehoshua.
