Jerusalem

Jerusalem, City of Faiths.
Three great religions
Honor your streets.
After three years of ministry,
Jesus chose to come
To Jerusalem At Passover,
Even though he knew that
Death waited.
Why?
We can only speculate.
We know with certainty
The choice was his.
We know with certainty
He knew what was to come.
When we follow Christ,
We must not turn from
The challenges of life,
Nor ignore the death
That always lurks in our future.
His example leads us forward
Through life and beyond.

Thorn in the Flesh

Paul asked for healing
Three times,
That the thorn in the flesh be removed.
Three times,
God answered, "No."
Paul believed that in weakness
He was strong.
Can I follow Paul's example?
Can I be strong in weakness?
Only with God's help.
