He Beckons
THEY MISSED HIM!
They were looking for a lion,
He came as a Lamb, and they missed Him.
They were looking for a warrior,
He came as a Peacemaker, and they missed Him.
They were looking for a king,
He came as a Servant, and they missed Him.
They were looking for liberation from Rome,
He submitted to the Roman stake, and they missed Him.
They were looking for a fit to their mold,
He was the mold maker, and they missed Him.
What are you looking for? Lion? Warrior? King?
Liberator?
What are you looking for?
They were looking for their temporal
needs to be met,
He came to meet their eternal need,
and they missed
Him.
He came as a Lamb to be sacrificed for your sin.
Will you miss Him?
He came to make peace between God and man.
Will you miss Him?
He came to model servanthood for all mankind.
Will you miss Him?
He came that we might have true liberty.
Will you miss Him?
He came to give you eternal life.
Will you miss Him?
When we submit to the Lamb,
we will meet the Lion.
Join with the Peacemaker,
and we will meet the
Warrior.
Work with the Servant,
and we will meet the King.
Walk with the Submitted,
and we will meet the
Liberator.
Concern ourselves with the eternal,
and we will have the temporal.
If Jesus is not fitting
into the mold you have, then come to the mold maker
and get a new one.
Submit to His plan for your life
and you will see the eternal need
met first;
then all the other things you have need of
will be taken care of as well.
