The Walk

Posted on by Marla / 0 Comment
Baby’s feet gently tucked in swaddling clothes untouched by pain.
Running feet on cobbled streets, happy, carefree, remain.
Walking roads of Galilee, peace he shares with all he meets.
Standing to speak on mountaintops, revealing mysteries, he hears and sees.
In stormy night he walks the sea, recuses one, he’ll do the same for you and me.
Sitting among the learned and the meek, one washes his servant’s feet.
In earth kings’ presence, he stands in humility, sentenced to walk the Via Dolorosa, some weep.
Laid down upon a rugged cross~ no more roads to walk, such loss.
The pounding sound of hammer and nail, tears running down his cheeks…
They impale His holy feet.

Matthew 11:28-30 New Living Translation
28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
The Via Dolorosa is a route in Jerusalem that Christians believe Jesus took while carrying his cross on the way to his crucifixion:

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
