A Complete Jew
Trusting, God’s Messiah
His Son, offered for our sin
To forgive us, make us righteous
Circumcise us within.
Are We Poor in Spirit?
Are we humble and lowly
Or proud, self-serving
Are exalting ourself
Or submissive, subserving?
Poor in Spirit?
Are so weary of self
All the efforts you make
Self-reliance, self-ambitions
All fleshly, vain mistakes.
Driven by Hatred or Love?
Jesus showed forth God’s love
Crucified, for me and you
Had cried “Father, forgive them
They know not, what they do. “
Rabbinical or Messianic Judaism?
“Therefore, you shall be perfect
Just as your Father in heaven”
Yeshua, the perfect Lamb of God
Messiah’s offering, for our transgression.
Jesus’ Be-Attitudes
Jesus taught how to be
In our attitudes, our nature
What to strive for, as goals
Become like our Creator.
Atheism’s Dilemma
On the one hand, materialism
On the other, hope and feelings
Our relationships, ambitions
Our morality and meaning.
Righteous or Religious?
So not my works, self-efforts
My offerings, being zealous
But Jesus only, makes pure
By faith righteous, not religious.
Our Foundation and Worldview
Yes, do build upon God’s Word
Not ideas, man produces
Our foundation, built on Truth
Not the latest, our culture chooses.
A Circumcised Heart
A new creature in Christ
The old, has passed away
A circumcision, without hands
Jesus opened, a new way.
