Extra ordinary

Reading between lines
we see the unusual
surrounding Jesus.

Women leave their homes
and families, following
this young preacher man.

What did their husbands
think? Was there resentment, anger?
Think of the scandal?

Jesus, meanwhile, caused
more embarrassment, healing
unmentionable illness,

raising from the dead,
Extraordinary sights.
Miracle worker!

This Advent, we wait
in expectation for Him,
hoping that we too

will have our lives changed.
Embarrassment? Certainly.
Jesus changes things.

Such priceless knowledge
to know the King of all kings
come to save us all.

This Man, who calms storms
restores the broken-mindedr
aises dead to life.

So tell of his deeds,
show His love shining from us
so all, too, may know.

Luke 8
