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!
