Haiku for establishing credentials
Jesus the teacher
spoke of forgiveness
and love;
the way to true life
Forget other stuff;
love and generosity
create peace and
hope.
His words of promise
bring great joy to
hungry hearts.
They make him
welcome.
But words are one
thing:
make him a wonder
worker
to prove he is God.
In bed with fever,
Simon’s wife’s
mother is ill;
Jesus makes her
well.
They came that
ev’ning,
the sick and the
troubled ones;
all of the city.
Jesus had pity.
He looked on them
with mercy,
healed and blessed
them all.
On to other towns;
his words must be
spread widely.
This is why he came.
Peace and grace
abound;
God’s
undistinguishing love
is for all people.
