A Man of Few Words
By George Thurlow
©️May 24, 2010
Christ’s Words were aptly chosen,
Though in number they were few;
In authority and power
Sin and sickness were subdued.
Circumstances could not phase Him,
Neither threats nor mocking jeers;
The epitome of faith perfected,
The antithesis of fear.
Verbiage was not needed
Being the Son of God;
Demons shook and shuddered
And under His feet were trod.
Simplistic Words of comfort
“Fear not I am with thee”:
Radiated confidence
To those who could not see.
And now as His own brethren
We receive His authority
For greater works are promised
To those who will believe.
Power to wield the mighty Sword
Permission to use His Name:
Faith to speak to mountains
And to do the same.
Application of His precious Blood
Is now what faith demands,
Not a lengthy homily
But an authoritative command.
*Inspired by Rev. Merle L. Mitchell’s
message preached on May 24, 2010 entitled “A Man of Few Words”.
