They Did It For Us!

A New Year has arrived and I'm sending you a new poem. It was written at the end of the old year. A New Year's gift from me to you. I am still doing a afternoon Bible Study at the county jail every other Friday. My partner brought in the most beautiful song called "How Many Kings," which really blessed me. It was the inspiration for this poem. The poem is different from the song, but still has the same theme which is the awesome love of the Father that he would send his only begotten son to die for us. Also the love of son for his fallen creation that he would come and live amongst sinners and then pay the torturous price to redeem us.  Hopefully it ministers to you. In Him, Jan

THEY DID IT FOR US!

The king of all kings,

 Laid aside his crown,

 Left heaven’s perfection,

 For a manger,

 A crown of thorns,

 And a cross.

The sinless Master,

Humbled himself,

 Took on flesh,

 Hating man’s wickedness,

 He grieved over lost humans,

 Healed and set them free.

The Creator of all,

Was tempted,

 Just like us,

Yet without sin,

 Had human needs,

 Felt what we feel.

El’s only begotten son,

 Suffered a broken heart,

Was betrayed,

 Beaten and mocked,

 Spit upon,

 Died between two thieves.
