Yeshuvah dmen Nzaret, I love you…

[Guest guest]

The fish needs the ocean, the ocean does not need the fish

His men need him, he does not need them.

They saw him from their own eyes, as man or messenger,

Son Of God or God Himself,

But he knew who he was.

 

Whether you believe him or not,

Whether I believe him or not,

He believed in himself.

 

Adonai, My Father, My Lord – the only words ever present on his tongue,

He must have them always, for he is sent to set an example,

In the darkest of nights, toughest of times,

When his men betrayed him, and ridiculed him,

He only took refuge in his Father.

 

The Maya said to him, "You cannot bear the world"

It told him again and again, "You are merely a man, not God.

Why do you have to bother about your fellowmen?"

He never paid heed to it!

Isn't he used to it's games?

His eyes beheld only his Father, his ears heard only His Voice.

"Father, Let Thy Will Prevail," he surrendered,

And trampled on all fears firmly,

And walked his road to his mission ahead.

 

His love is his power, that cured wounded men,

Friends or foes, he saved them all,

Even those who came to kill him,

For his purpose was to prove the power of Love!

"Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword", he declared.

 

And mind you, he cured them not just from the bruises of their bodies,

But also from the vagaries of their minds,

>From malice and hatred, greed and lust,

It all happened together,

As His Father ordained it.

 

His Father Divine gave the courage,

To His son to step beyond the bond of his emmi – the virgin mother - Maryam,

And to her, his dearest emmi, to bear seeing her son's suffering.

He made them forget their dramatic bonds,

And accept His will in total surrender.

Lucky souls, aren't they?

 

And then, the last hours have dawned.

 

He said, "I am the Son of God".

They slapped him, stabbed him,

He said, "I am the Son of God".

They spat on him,

He said, "I am the Son of God".

 

Why does it always happen?

Whenever God sends His son or comes Himself,

Why do people fail to recognize Him?

They hear Him when He speaks through Bibles, Qurans and Geethas,

But not through flesh and blood.

 

They see Him in pictures, not in their fellowmen!

They see Him in temples, not in their own hearts!

 

Yet, He said, "I am the Son of God".

For verily, the Son of God He is.

Yeshuvah dmen Nzaret, I love you…
