Jesus asks question:
who do you say that i am?
profession of faith
spirit descends from sky
father love declares favor

in free verse, question poem Tags: follow, Jesus, question, want
Jesus, the
Questioner,
when followed,
turned around
and asked,
dark eyes
so focused,
“What do
you want?”
Earnestly,
he asks us
too, what
is it you
really,
truly,
want?
Is it
Me?

Weak from long fasting,
Lord encounters Lucifer
in desert place; nothing
to eat here but rocks so
why not turnover a stone?
we live by vital words
from God’s own mouth;
deep, soul nourishment.
not using power selfishly
to satisfy one’s own desires.
_______
Life in the balance on top
spire of temple; high above
pavement, a suicidal dance
with the devil, who misquotes
scripture like loaded weapon.
don’t listen to lies saying
jump, tempting God himself;
death is not the solution and
fools twist truth on daily basis
but the wise wait in quiet trust.
_______
A mountaintop experience
with panoramic worldview.
prince of this world boasts
big promises: you can have
it all, if you will just bow to me.
you schemer, get out of here!
shortcuts can ruin better plan.
father provides all that’s needed
and i must follow the harder
path of obedience to his will.
seeking Truth, finding God

Following a false religion might just be a subconscious death wish.
Yet we probably agree that he who lives by the sword, dies by it.
Desire a real relationship with God, not religiosity.
credit: Nazarene symbol
By knowing Jesus, we come to understand that
God is truly love.
(“american sentences”: poems of one sentence containing 17 syllables)
