Lenten Reflections: Who hath believed?
Who hath believed?
Glory unesteemedPerfect provision
The hidden wisdomCovering rejected
Divinity undetectedRaised on the tree
For all who will seeAtonement shunned
Only begotten SonLamb of God disguised
Lord of glory crucifiedKing's scepter refused
God's kindness eschewedWhy do nations rage?
Spirit of this ageWhat seems to be
Is not what it seemsFoolishness to man
Eternal council's planChosen stone, sure foundation
Laid to build a holy nationTo the remnant precious Rock
To the rest a stumbling blockCome ye thirsty, kiss the Son
Drink Christ, flee the wrath to comeGlory be to the Father
Glory be to the Son
Glory be to the Spirit
The Godhead, three in one

Good Morning, Karen and may you and your family have a very Happy Resurrection Day.
Who hath believed our report? I guess each Christian is looking into that with their lost friends in a gentle and kind way.
There is a funny side to witnessing for me--my humor has no bounds. I was street walking with a Christian friend at church doing cold turkey evangelism with anyone who would listen to us. I saw this guy on a motorcycle and he looked and dressed mean. I walked past him. He was scary. My friend behind me stopped and talked to him--for a long time. This mean guy I walked by joyfully put his faith in Jesus Christ. I felt so dumb!!

I like those couplets! One that stands out to me because of the surety of Christ: Chosen stone, sure foundation
Laid to build a holy nation
Thank you, Karen
I'm reflecting
@ANVRSADDAY - Frank, your story so wonderfully illustrates the sovereign power, love, mercy and grace of God to save undeserving and unworthy souls... none of us deserve anything but God's wrath, but Jesus took that in our place! Hallelujah!
I hope you & your family have a Happy Resurrection Day also.
@quest4god@revelife - You're welcome, Norm. It was humbling to write this and reflect on His mercy and goodness poured out on sinners like us.
@A_Piano_Tuner - I LOVE this comment!
