TWO THINGS THAT JESUS SAID
OF THE MANY
TWO THINGS
WERE FOREMOST IN HIS BRAIN
WHO DO YOU THINK I AM
AND PETER
WHO HAD BEEN STRUGGLING
WITH THAT THOUGHT
FELT HIS THOUGHT CRYSTALLIZED
WITH THE QUESTION
BLURTED OUT IN TYPICAL PETER FASHION
YOU ARE GOD’S ANOINTED ONE
THE MESSIAH
THEN DREW BACK IN DISMAY
HE
JESUS
THE SECOND MOSES
TO LEAD THEM AGAIN
FROM CAPTIVITY
HE
JESUS
A SECOND DAVID
TO RULE AS KING
OVER A RESTORED ISRAEL
HE
JESUS
A GENTLE LAMB
NOT A RAGING BULL
OR SPIRITED HORSE
A GENTLE LAMB
THAT HE WANTED TO PROTECT
A GOOD MAN
BUT A MESSIAH
HIS OWN STATEMENT LEFT HIM PUZZLED
THE SECOND THING JESUS SAID
WAS AT THEIR LAST PASSOVER
WHEN HE SAID TO THE TWELVE
ONE OF YOU WILL BETRAY ME
THE TWO STATEMENTS
EVENTUALLY
LED TO A SCENARIO
OF CHRISTIAN LIFE
WE DECLARE CHRIST TO BE OUR SAVIOR
THEN SELL HIM FOR OUR OWN WILL
WE DO IT AGAIN
AND AGAIN
AND AGAIN
AND CHRIST
KNOWING FULL WELL THE END
DID NOT HESITATE TO MAKE THE JOURNEY
