Blood Stained Banner
As I pierce
the deep
blue skies
returning home
questioning
‘not’
who?
What?
When?
Where?
Nor
why?
Shoeless
‘BUT’
got His
favorite
BLOOD STAINED DRESS ON!
Some say it ain’t so
but,
if ‘He’
can walk on water
to me,
then
through
mustard seed
faith
an’
‘sum’
belief;
I too
can
gaze
across
the shore,
calm
the raging seas,
keeping
mine eyes
fixed
only
on Him
all the more.
And ‘YES’
drown
into
ETERNITY.
Dedicated to:
At
a ‘TREE’, at a tree (Acts
5:30); is where I first saw the light
and
the burdens of my heart were rolled away.
Yeah,
that’s where it ‘twas’~~~I received my sight!!!
A B.A.D. Poem
Crucifixion -- Max Ernst
Three passages in the Bible record Jesus walking on the water.
ReplyDeleteJesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.” And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.” -- Gospel of Matthew 14:22-33
He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away. And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray. Now when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land. Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by. And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out; for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.” 51 Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled. – Gospel of Mark 6: 45-51
And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, and entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. –Gospel of John 6: 16-21
One of Jesus’ best-known parables appeared in Matthew 13: 31-32, Mark 4: 30-32, Luke 13: 18-19. The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed: when sown it is the smallest of all but when grown it becomes a tree in which birds lodge.
