“Third On The List” (Phil.2:1-11; Jn.1:1ff; Lk.2:16; Mt.13:55) [Sun Tsu First Half Re-Write # – 1:6C]
Third on the list when checking out
Two leadership’s, which some may doubt,
Is what is called “Humanity”
“Benevolence” translators see.Well, Christ had brothers, sisters, mom,
A dad named Joseph; born the one
Who grew in wisdom, stature, and
In favor with both God and man.Paul said He laid aside “God” role,
To come to earth, which took its toll;
Humility, compassion – showed
To one and all alternate road –To that old Adam took at first,
Which we know well became much worse;
Christ went about with good for all,
’Till death, from start in humble stall.“Forbid kids not”; “Lay down your life”;
“What profits you, if win in spite
Of fact you sold out all to gain
The world – not even soul remains?”He’s walked life’s roads; forgave the worst;
Betrayed; abandoned; many cursed
His coming – He now intercedes;
Takes on, through us, the enemy.And satan? Watches for the weak,
To steal, and kill, destroy – who seeks
To prey on those he can abuse,
And thinks by “Winning” others lose.Well, in benevolence, Christ wins
Hands down – humanity begins
With Him – He pulls us from some pit,
Then onto Kingdom-layer insists –We stand and catch our breath once more;
’Course we can all walk out that door,
Just like for Adam at the start –
God thought up “Choice” – let us take part.So yes, a better leader here
Is Christ, not satan – that’s quite clear;
To join with Him, His body be –
Is life itself – our Jubilee.Thanks Lord for this.
