In His life, his human life
the parable of Christ
As much as any story he told
the days of his life
a parable for our instruction
teaching us not with the words of parables
instead with the words,
the good news of his life
The mystery of God
conveyed in simple, human ways
A teen mother, a carpenter
a life cut short, judged and sentenced
His days on the earth, preaching, healing
offering his life, a sacrifice for our sins
A parable of Christ, the word made flesh;
human God, so we may understand
