Christ gave us no choice – v2

Christ’s words in His sermon,
His first pastoral teaching,
on the mount, preaching,
with authority, with power…
 
Christ gave us no choice,
in the words of His message,
His power, His authority,
was in His identity alone…
 
Christ spoke with power,
authority from heaven,
for He is the Christ, the Messiah,
the one living Son of God…
 
Christ gave us no choice,
to see Him as a moral teacher,
a preacher, a messenger,
speaking God’s truth…
 
No, Christ spoke differently,
than all others before Him,
He claimed His authority,
was rooted in scripture,
in His holy name…
