They could not see Him

They saw Jesus

but they could not see Him

the One, I Am,

Yeshua, Messiah,

the Christ, the Servant

the One foretold

they could not believe

even though He stood before them

the living Son of God

Emmanuel, God with us

come to the earth

They could not see

only seeing Jesus

Mary and Joseph’s son

the man they knew

nothing more, far less,

that who He claimed to be

unable, unwilling no eyes to see,

not believing the words

what He was speaking

the signs all around them

the healings, those cured

Showing all of them

the divine wisdom, truth,

God within the law

they did not see Him

not believing the signs

the bread of life

bread, manna from heaven

life in this man

this man, Jesus, the Christ

standing before them

offering them life

-          the green color is not the true color

-          we are fed and nurtured in the spring and summer with the word;

-          we shine our true colors in autumn
