Upon the people I've been given And I ache deep inside For they just don't understand They cry for the loss of one Fail to see that it's a sleep A mere transition of the spirit From the sinful nature of flesh Try as I might to explain The plan of why I'm here They have clouded minds And cannot see through the haze The intention of their hearts Is of good, for it is of love But their blindness makes them stand In the way of my given path For with a purpose I have come Only to do the will of my Father To come unto the lost sheep To give life more abundantly From my birth I knew what I was sent forth to do I came to save your life By giving mine for yours You cannot begin to see The height nor depth nor the unconditional Love that I hold for you I have done all I could do Given all that I have to give I've given my very life So you could be with me And asked if there might be Another way to pass the cup of wrath So it, you wouldn't have to endure But now, the choice is left to you I have given you all things I have hung upon the cross I have planned from beginning to end And now, I can say "It is finished" <*\\\>< YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU! |

Rebecca-- This is a very unique perspsective of Jesus passion,and suffering for unknowing, undeserving,imperceptive humanity--and that is through the eyes of Jesus Himself. You have amassed many interesting and timely thoughts from Jesus own viewpoint. You did VERY WELL in meeting this challenge, most noble Moderator. Let me as one other thing for those who may not be aware of it: In the Gospels,we are given the words of Christ from the Cross, generally counted as 7(a perfect number) in all. But if one would like to get a Biblical insight to Jesus thoughts from the Cross, and Biblically prepictured & foretold, then read PSALM 22-which starts of with the Familar words,"My God, My God, why has Thou forsaken in." That makes for a very interesting study as we seek to pursue & find the Mind of Christ. Thank you for your very insightful poem, David "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

Yes, he quoted that chapter on the cross. And His last words on the cross were "It is finished." I didn't know if everyone would catch on to that or not. Thanks David! <*\\\>< YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU! |

Excellent poem, Becky! I remember singing a spiritual song at Easter - I think it was the 'Seven Last Words' or something. Each 'word' had a different melody. The first one was "Lamb of God, to Calvary they had sent you on the cross to suffer and to die"...This reminded me of that song.. |

Sharon, David mentioned those 7 last words. I haven't heard of that song though. And I'll have to look into those 7 things, as right now I can't think of what they are, or if I've missed them all together. Bonnie, thanks so much! I'm still pondering over this one...just not sure of it. Thanks again |

Thanks so much Denise! David, I have a question. Is this 7 words the Elli Elli Lama Shabotona? (My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?) |

This is quite different, being from Jesus' perspective. It's also a great writing. I'm very proud of your work, Dear. |
