In Jesus' ShoesA Poem by Brother Jacob
“Father, I don’t deserve this, this is what you say.”
“What have I done wrong, why do things have to be this way?”
“Why do people have to suffer, why do people have to die?”
“ Why are people mistreated, can you tell me why?”
He replies, “I know your pain.
I know your tears.
Who do you think has been with you,
all of these years?”
“Don’t you realize, that I suffered too.”
“You can believe this or not, but it is true.”
“On the day I was born, people wanted to slay Me.”
“Tell me what kind of harm could I do, as an innocent baby.”
“Even at a young age, I knew, I was destined to die.”
“But never once did I question, oh Father, why?”
“My very own family thought I was odd, but I was on a mission, for I was the Son of God.
“I started My ministry, when I was around thirty- three”.
“When My time was fulfilled, I would hang upon a tree.”
“When I did miracles, some people said I was demonically possessed, “He has a devil in Him each one of them expressed.”
“ One of My disciples stabbed me in the back,
“he conspired with others for thirty piece silver, they planned their attack.”
“One of My friends who said, he was willing to die for Me,
denied me 3 times, then wept bitterly.”
“The judge at my hearing was willing to let me go. “
To please the people, he allowed Me to be thrashed, and gave the crowd a show.”
“The thrashing wasn’t all, I still had to die”
“One by one, they all shouted, “crucify, crucify!”
“They chose to save a murder, over Me.”
“But I already knew, this was my destiny.
“ They shoved one nail through My heels, and one nail in each of My wrists.”
“ I laid My life down willfully I did not resist.”
“I had carried the sin of the whole world, upon my very shoulders”
“As I hung there I was mocked by all of my beholders.”
“ The devil thought he had Me, He thought I met My doom,
But on the very third day, I rose from My tomb.”
“Believe this or not, but I still suffer pain today,
when people still reject Me, and they walk away.”
“Some even profess, that I’m not even real,
oh, but I am, do they care how I feel?”
People go through trials and tribulations in this life.
There’s pain, death, heartache and there is even strife.
But this life is just a vapor: “A candle in the wind.”
We’ll all be with Jesus in the very end.”
Everything you and I go through, He overcame.
Get to know Him today, and call upon His name.
