A happy day, to us joyful, holy, when Jesus gave his sinless sacred flesh to support and make us safe--we have but always to keep by Him in this blind world. His goodness and strength has lightened the weight of our viciousness, even though ruthless godless corrupt hearts--the hardened crowd--can barely understand His veiled guarded talk. His noble forgiveness of arrogance, His gift of Himself as our soul's food, is seen as some great marvel or horror, only those who have won over hate with love, seen the law as an expression of faith have His gift of life impressed on their hearts. |
