“The Writer As el hombre de Dios” (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 1 Corinthians 15:24-28; Amos 5:24 ) [Spanish Bible series – Belief sub-series #1]

el hombre de Dios – the phrase
Which speaks to me in multi-ways
Of “Life in Christ” which we’re inspired
To be each day as here “required”.

Required? Why yes, preparado
(Prepared) for work assigned – to go
About each task prepared, equipped,
With words of God upon our lips.

The preacher used a catchy phrase
“Appointed writers” – showed for ways
Of passing on each word prepared,
To others, so it’s multi-layered –

Para enseñar is first layer –
To teach the practice-side of prayer
To yearning hearts to do good work
(abra Buena) lest they should shirk –

Their part in life – hombre de Dios –
Informed, so now each deeply knows,
About their task in Body-life
That work of Christ be done a right.

The second layer, para argüir
To argue out till thought his clear
Is what such writers do each day
To help el hombre on his way.

Third layer, para corregir
(Correction) is itself quite clear –
It’s not enough to stop bad acts,
Alternatives apply new facts.

The fourth of writer’s multi-layers
Is justice (that’s justice) – prayers
Of many in the world today
Cry out for this in many ways –

So writers here address that need
By educar – implant a seed
Of thought in reader’s mind some way
That in response they’ll do or say –

Some word of life in context there’s
That justice roll like rivers – prayers
Be answered through such words or acts
In Christ, as He fulfills His task.

So there Paul pours out layers four
For writers, but he gives some more –
He says that Scripture, God-inspired,
Prepares each writer as desired –

By Christ to lay four layers out
In all he writes – without a doubt
Brought to a full maturity
In these four aspects gradually.

For we don’t change at levels deep
As fast as wanted – gradually –
Is best for our community;
Else it would soon disruption see.

El hombre de Dios I see
Is “Man of God” – if patiently
He grows into his writing task,
Then from the overflow, at last –

Writes to El hombre de Dios
To share with him the bit he knows
About the life in which they are
Engaged, exchanging truth, by Gar.

Thanks Lord for this.
