“Anyone who has seen me, has seen the Father.”
John 14:9
One man
Who claimed to be God.
Died.
He is alone
Hanging between Heaven and Earth.
It’s quiet now but, something incredible happened.
This death has caused a chain reaction!
From this point in history
Backward and forward in time
All mankind on this tiny obscure planet
Have been saved from death.
Their lives from this point forward will change.
No matter where they stand on the timeline.
It’s a step of faith
That will heal the ravages of sin
On this obscure world.
This tiny world will be renewed
And made able to rejoin the harmony of the heavens.
This ignored planet was the place
That was lost among the other planets in its system
No more.
This tiny system is no longer lost among the arms
Of the Milky Way but, shines like a jewel.
This jewel is what makes this minor galaxy
Worth more than the other more spectacular ones in the heavens.
Up through the expanse of the unknown
Comes the little know people of the tiny earth.
Their savior redeemed the race of man
Back to their place as the children of God
Made in His image.
No longer obscure
Thanks to the man, Jesus Christ
God in the flesh.
Eternity and obscurity
Reign on the earth;
Now the very center of God’s Creation!
Because of one very special “obscure” man.
One man.

Praise God for his indescribable gift (2 Corinthians 9:15)! Praise Jesus Christ for becoming obedient to death–even death on a cross (Philippians 2:8)–for us! And praise Holy Spirit who brought about our adoption as sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father (Romans 8:14-16)! It’s our steps of faith into these truths that begin to heal the ravages of sin within each of us, as you’ve expressed here in your insightful poem! Thank you, Gary!
Thank you, Nancy. I am glad you enjoyed it.
