<\/a><\/h1>\nA Christmas Poem<\/h1>\n
By Scott Rohter, December 2016<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mary had a little lamb whose robes were white as snow<\/p>\n
And everywhere\u00a0that Jesus went the crowds were sure to go.<\/p>\n
He went up to the Temple Mount to rebuke those who did money count.<\/p>\n
When He went down to a desert place\u00a0there were more crowds\u00a0there for Him to face.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The crowds\u00a0followed him to Galilee. The sick to heal\u2026 the blind to see.<\/p>\n
The crowds\u00a0heard him in the Temple read. Then left him on\u00a0the cross to bleed.<\/p>\n
The crowds\u00a0watched him die and\u00a0be laid to rest,\u00a0their sins to atone for,\u00a0their faith\u00a0to test.<\/p>\n
But when he rose from the grave\u00a0there were no crowds there. No one was waiting and there was no fanfare.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The\u00a0disciples were\u00a0 troubled.\u00a0They did not understand why Jesus died on the cross at Roman hands.<\/p>\n
But when\u00a0they heard\u00a0the\u00a0tomb was empty they\u00a0came to have a look. Still no one could believe what was written in the Book.<\/p>\n
Then into their midst\u00a0Jesus suddenly appears uplifting their\u00a0hearts and\u00a0consoling their fears.<\/p>\n
Mary He called as she trembled and cried, My Lord we all thought you had died<\/p>\n
We love you Jesus.\u00a0We were worried\u00a0so. Now what shall we do and to whom shall we go?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Her grief\u00a0pierced his heart, yet He must leave, to ascend to\u00a0His Father\u00a0lost souls to retrieve.<\/p>\n
Not\u00a0My will,\u00a0but Thy will be done, Father\u00a0of those that Thou gavest me I have lost none.<\/p>\n
If I go to\u00a0my Father I will send you another who will guide you in all truth and in love for your brother<\/p>\n
Now with death overcome\u00a0and the Devil defeated at the right hand of\u00a0God the Savior is seated.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
