    The Passion

    The Passion
    what did Jesus look like
    does anybody know?


    If the movies portrayed him
    as he was
    would anybody go?


    If Jesus came back in our time
    who would be
    the first to see


    He has no form
    nor comeliness
    Isaiah 53


    So when we make our movies
    portraying Christ's
    sacrificial crucifixion


    Would his passing be worthwhile
    if not meeting our
    visual expectation?


    Christ was oppressed & afflicted
    for the transgression
    of the masses


    A stricken man of sorrows
    acquainted with our grief
    For our own trespasses


    We esteemed him not
    though he hath bourne
    All our grief & sorrows


    poured out his soul
    dying upon the Cross
    Yet we’ll still speak of it tomorrow


    Now, 2000 years
    have passed my dear friend
    Since Christ’s earthly benediction

    Yet our heart’s held fast
    by a love that lasts
    in the passion of Christ's Crucifixion.

    Thank you Blackbarbie, but the credit for the thought line goes to Train64 who came up with this original premise which we worked together on. Blessings, Whiskers

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
