Herod & Jesus - a poem
Herod & Jesus
One king seeks to destroy another;
The other only seeks to love.
One king plots to eliminate competition;
the other plans to save the world.
One king walks a path of destruction;
The other a path of reconciliation.
One king is buried in a royal tomb;
The other in a borrowed grave.
But only ONE king rose from the dead.
Only one king has authority over life and death.
Only one king came to seek and save that which was lost.
Hail, King Jesus!
One king seeks to destroy another;
The other only seeks to love.
One king plots to eliminate competition;
the other plans to save the world.
One king walks a path of destruction;
The other a path of reconciliation.
One king is buried in a royal tomb;
The other in a borrowed grave.
But only ONE king rose from the dead.
Only one king has authority over life and death.
Only one king came to seek and save that which was lost.
Hail, King Jesus!
