LONG AWAITED MESSIAH
The long awaited Messiah came,
Took the blame for all men's sins,
The Jews did not accept him, but
Insisted the devil was in him...he
Healed the sick, raised the dead by
Doing works of God in their midst;
While hurling their accusations, he
Cast out demons, as they lectured,
Lied, and misapplied God's Torah of
Laws, commands, truths; jealous of
Crowds that Jesus drew, grew them
To use deception's prideful rejection,
Showing the truth about themselves
They were too blind to see that they
Acted contrary to God's intentions of
Who they were supposed to be...the
Carrier of God's laws to the people of
Israel, and God's chosen vessels...for
Caring for and loving their people, as
God's instruments, by accusing Christ
Of what they were doing, time and time
Again, they chose anger, jealousy, and
Deception, their rejection of the King of
The Israelites and the foretold Messiah.
