The Man from Galilee

So, here’s the thing, and the thing is…
I met a man a long, long, time ago…
And ever since then I have never been the same…
He came from a place called Galilee…
In the middle of the night He walked upon the sea…
Stories told throughout history…
About this man, from Galilee…
We celebrate His birth, and talk of His great worth…
We even go to Church…to hear about the man from Galilee
Songs are sung about His amazing grace…and how He was nailed upon an old rugged tree…
Raised from the dead to set men free, this man from Galilee…
We’ve all heard the old, old, story…learned Bible verses about blessings and curses…
Some have even seen miracles, like the days when He walked the streets of Galilee…
Some mock, some still don’t believe in the man from Galilee…
How He raised the dead, cast out demons and even fed…multitudes with just a few fish and some bread
But brother, sister, scoffer, non-believer…Listen to what Jesus said,
For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior. John 3:16-17 (GNT)
This man, from Galilee, came down from heaven to die willingly, for you and me…
Can you not see?
He was human but also God…
Miles of dusty streets He trod…
Gathered at the synagogue
Was baptized, by His cousin John…
Rabbi to twelve lowly fishermen…
He Gave hope to the widows and orphans
He Rescued the demoniac by sending legions into a herd of pigs
Healed lame, broken, blind and destitute people, just ordinary people, like you and like me…
This man from Galilee…
His name is Jesus, the unique Son of God!
He, is, the man, from Galilee…
The carnal mind cannot comprehend this mystery…
To know Him, here is the key…
Open your heart and let Him in…
Then your journey will begin…
New light will fill your eyes and you will see
Then you will know this man from Galilee…
He no longer walks the dusty streets or the seashores of Galilee
His Spirit lives within us, when we open our hearts and let Him in
We’ll be with Him forever in the heavenly’s…
Understand this, He is coming again!!
He won’t be a lowly shepherd then…
He’ll be a warrior with sword in hand…
This victorious man, who was from Galilee!

John 3:16-17 New King James Version (NKJV) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
