His Story by Belinda van Rensburg Move closer and listen; I'll tell you a story of the Prince of Peace; the Son of Glory. Who long ago on this earth did dwell, to save us from sin and death and hell. It happened one beautiful starry night, when one star in particular shone very bright. It guided three wise men to Bethlehem - to a humble stable which they did not ken. God's angel appeared to some shepherds that night who were tending their flock under the moon bright. Glad tidings the angel to them did depart, then they sang and praised God with joy in each heart. The streets ran red with blood and with tears; babes slaughtered because of King Herod's fears - but Joseph fled with his wife and the babe in the dead of the night to escape the king's raid. The Christ child grew up and became a man, and all went according to our Father's plan. For Jesus became so wise and so strong, and He never once sinned or did anything wrong. He made fishers of men and sent demons away; preached on a mountain and taught us to pray. He healed the sick and He cured the lame, and commanded all men to do the same. He raised His friend Lazarus from the dead, And taught us never to worry or fret over what we should wear, or drink or eat - since God will supply everything we might need. God's only Son (as yet unsung) - while soldiers laughed and had their fun hung upon that cursed barren tree, shedding His Blood for you and for me. He hung there, dying, all alone... He did what He did for our sins to atone. "It is finished" our Savior said - then He hung His head and was pronounced dead. They pierced His side but broke not a bone before they sealed His grave with a stone. When the two women returned after three days They found the tomb empty; the stone rolled away. God's shining angel dressed in bright white, who made the guards shiver and faint with fright told the women "Don't be scared; do not fear, for Jesus has risen and He is not here". Go now and spread the Good News to all. Tell them to answer the Father's call; for all who believe in Him will be free - Jesus the Christ from Galilee! |
