THEORY–SMEARY!
–
We humans love theories,
Arguing over trite queries…
Salvation needs
Done by deeds,
Debaters would whip up furies!
–
Some adhere to total free will,
Or God has us planned to the hilt…
Clever ruses
Debating who chooses,
Causing the hopeful to wilt.
–
Whether its God or you.
We still have a choice to do…
Come now decide
With God abide,
Or are you stuck in glue?

CHRIST’S AWARENESS OF HIS FATHER GOD
(Psalm 22:9—from my Pastor’s sermon this morning)
–
Born by the Spirit in Mary,
His birth was ordinary…
Out of the womb
His Father groomed
Him for the extraordinary!
–
Immediately Jesus connected
With His Father as directed,
Forming a bond
Of which he was fond,
Never quite intersected.
–
As the young Jesus grew,
Over time He KNEW…
His final “end”
And who would depend
On willingness to carry through.
–
Fast forward to Gethsemane,
The olive groves where He would plead…
“Let this cup pass,”
But, alas,
Let my Father’s will be!
–
Three times He went back to wake
Disciples for loneliness’ sake…
Three times they failed,
No support availed–
He faced alone the hate.
–
He knew what He had to do,
The Father would help Him through…
Until the exact
Time of broken contact:
“I am forsaken…even by You!”
–
His lifelong connection was broken
With the Father when it was spoken…
Christ bore all sin–
God couldn’t look upon Him–
Sacrificial Love…not mere token!
