A WORD OF POETIC JUSTICE FOR OUR LORD JESUS IN HIS GLORY

 This insightful poem continues to nourish me with the hope of Christ and the person that he truly is. I am blessed to have been able to write it down with such clarity.  For I believe it also ministers to the heart of the reader and prepares us for the great soon coming day of our Lord's return in poetic form.  While it also delivers a stark warning of the fullness of what the Cross means in all it's pain and glory! Your comments are welcome. 

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CROSS

There’s something amiss when the creation resist

all that the Creator stands for.

As I gaze at the cross...it reflects a world lost

With Christ knocking on every Door.

Man thinking himself good...Did that which he thought he should.

With charges of blasphemy and plenty of religiosity

Refused to believe the Word...being filled with animosity.

Delivering the Lord to the Court of courts.

And so the trial did promptly begin.

He was alone, having not a character witness nor even a friend.

And when the judge could find no law against him.

Washing his hands, I’m sure he did what he can...

All...except free this sinless man.

Guilty...Guilty was the outcry from the crowd!

And the Law that was ...became no law at all and yet....God smiled!

So there our Savior laid with out stretched arms. 

Demonstrating His love despite the harm.

And while every man is born in sin...

The injustice we profess don't compare to the injustice he was placed in.

There’s something amiss when the creation resist..

All that the Creator stands for even now....like then. 

But an empty Tomb was God’s reward for a work well done. 

Not to be hid the Lord shoned forth His only Son. 

For Jesus showed His love toward all mankind.

And now there is life after death in only His Name you will find!

But......Let the other side of the cross speak also.

That what and who we are has surely been exposed.

For in God’s love so openly displayed....

We did show our wretchedness  that day.

And God’s Law of Love resoundly defeated...

Our law of justice which we misdeeded. 

Our anger truly showed only to see the peace of God flow.

And our fearfulness for no reason illuminated God’s love for all seasons.

The Cross is the meeting place for all of this....

And believe it or not, the Creator let the creation insist!

So let us remember the wisdom the Cross is meant to bring.

God has a day for justice that righteousness being fairness ought ring.

For the other side of the cross speaks well of his return.

Sitting on the right hand side of the Father...this he earned!

But there are yet those who chose not to believe...

Like doubting Thomas...They say “not by faith but by sight must I see!”

But blessed are those who believe and have not seen!

For no more is God a mystery and neither is he a dream.

For you see.....Grace and Mercy has been born out of Injustice.

And it is the other side of the cross which gives us this message.

That our way of justice means nothing when Truth demands His Return.

For this is why the Word declares the Earth shall burn

And we who are caught up in His Rapture shall bear witness..

Revealing the Other Side of the Cross was a lesson that went Unlearned!

THE PASTOR AND THE PROPHET

These are the words the Lord has spoken:

For our determination has been found before His Throne

And He has heard the desires of our hearts.

And so a place shall be established . . . yea

A habitation that the Spirit of Him might dwell

In the fullness of His Truth.

And in My House shall tears be brought before My Altar.

That there should be joy and joy unspeakable.

For who can know me lest my righteous judgment touch thee.

So let the minister lead and shall the prophet proclaim.

Let the minister protect and the prophet advise.

And shall my minister build the walls

But my prophet shall be without blueprint. For he is mine!

Let these things be. Lest the congregation be overwhelmed

And My Word becomes hindered.

Therefore, I sanction thee to work well in My House.

For the work of the ministry is for

The perfecting of the saints

That they might know the fullness of Him whom I have sent.

Therefore, bring me the fruit of their repentance.

That my Spirit might settle upon the weak

And the lame, the hurt and the fearful.

Yea, even the poor and the lost who need to be found.

I counsel thee to Stand at the Door of My Gate and

Sound the Trumpet of Departure that they might taste

That which is Hope and Hear that which is Pure.

Sound it well that my Spirit might hear thine expectation!

And know for a certainty thy precious Faith.

That it is in my Son, the Christ, the Blessed Redeemer.

Hold fast to that which is true, my Church.

For the God of Israel is set to speak once again.

And it is His righteousness, which shall be declared by his prophets.

So gather the flock my ministers and declare the vision my prophets. 

That we shall make way for the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.

Savior to the Gentiles and also Messiah to the Jews. 

Amen & Amen!

To the Churches, let us place these words in the center of our hearts

that they might be found at the entrance of His Church.
