As Foretold.
Not yet flesh-and-blood-clad
informed Essence traced familiar
space of joy's timeless dimensions
then gladness for living in airy realms
met human need at ether's earth-edge,
called by request an Only-Begotten
became eager to manifest.
Apple of Heaven's kingly eye
relinquished position, mission-sent
in princely service, male-shaped and
love-veined Pity walked as The Man,
gathering awed listeners and openly
talking of narrow's divinely-set way
toward state of redemption.
Truth-driven, without fear
freedom-revealer scorched proud eye
and ear, tore aside feeble excuses for
uncaring tax-tables of lucre-exchange,
much despised yet understanding He
bent in submission and faced anger's
ire to bear undeserved sentence.
Cuffed as thorned reprobate
silent remained and while high-court
rose to vilify spit and condemn, Love
stood alone, mocked for absolving all
unknowing error, prepared to suffer
in facing slow nail-staked death.
Outlawed and buried, grave
could not hold spirit and life-force
arose, showed death attack had freed
inner Being yet mould-bound in human
denial un-humbled pride never viewed
Love's undying success when Life rose,
as foretold, earthlings to save.
No better cause for celebration
as memorial brings timely reminder
to Christians the meaning of Sacrifice.
