“HE”

He was despised, so we could be loved.
He was rejected, so we could be accepted.


He was bruised, so we could be beloved and beautiful;
He was bound, so we could be set free.


He was afflicted, so we could have peace.
He was broken, so we could be made whole.


He was, at one moment, hopeless, so we could live in daily hope!
He took our grief, so we could be victorious.


He took on our sorrows, so we could be joyful.
He became weak, so through Him, we could become strong.


He was buried for us, so we could be buried with Him in baptism.
He rose again, so we could live again and be born again.


He gave us His name, so we don't have to remain the same!
He gave us His Holy Spirit, so we could be full of the Spirit of holiness.


He is One so that we could be one with Him.
He loved us first so that we could learn to love Him.
He is God!
His name is Jesus!
