Suffering Saints
‘In Me, you have peace’
Spoke Jesus, God’s Son
‘In the world, tribulation
Be courageous… I’ve overcome’.
Suffering
When confronted by suffering
With reasons unclear
Will we choose to grow better
Or grow bitter, with fears.
Rabbinical Judaism
And Rabbinical Judaism
Then raised itself higher
Above, the One prophesized
Denied Yeshua, God’s Messiah.
The Holocaust
Over six million Jews
In Europe were slain
Sadistically murdered
Causing mayhem and pain.
The Jew
The mystery of history
The Jew still remains
Preserved, indestructible
Despite sorrow and pain.
Prayer
For You call me to partner
In Your image I’m made
To pray without ceasing
And see lives, remade.
Passover-First Fruits-Easter
On this ‘Feast of First Fruits’
A burnt and grain offering
Foreshadowing Messiah
And His people, following.
Pesach-Passover…Exodus
How God frees from bondage
All those, captive to sin
Jesus’ blood, our atonement
To cleanse of leaven, within.
No more Sickness, nor Suffering
As we worship our King
No distractions, nor despair
No trials, nor temptations
All perfect splendor, forever there.
My People
Though God has chastised
They faced every threat
But His Covenant people
He does not forget.
