The Everyman

Unbelieved

Despite witness's message

Everyman needed evidence

Even as belief’s desire beckoned

Seeing is believing his legacy

Eyes must see

Hands must touch

For death’s conquest

And faith’s fulfillment

Tender Mercy responded when

Weakness cried out 

Eternal wounds bearing testimony

Of the Anointed One’s Gift

So faith was born by senses filled

Everyman seeks inspection still

When the invitation is given

Seeing and touching the need

And as always Mercy responds

Overcoming by Revelation in 

Mind and heart touched by

A Presence making everything New

Yet when the dark valley’s mist

Veils the traveler’s vision

Testing everyman in everyway

Opportunities arise for Love’s 

Devoted Trust

When feelings flee Grace abounds

Held fast by Hands

Scared by Love's Donation

A Sacrifice for everyman

In Faith’s Decision secured by

His Abiding Presence even

Though Veiled in Mystery

Reflection / Discussion:

-How is Faith a Decision?

-What Evidence is there to Believe?

-What is your 'story' of Faith in Jesus?

-If you don't Believe, why not?

-What would it take to 'Accept Jesus into your life'?

-How can you help others to Believe in Jesus?
