Whole and Holy

He did not ponder if He should,
When it came to His sheep.
He simply bought us back from sin,
For we are His to keep.
 
To those who called to Him in faith,
He poured out endless grace,
And that grace still flows ceaselessly
For all the human race.
 
Yet, it was not just mortal pain
That He came here to heal,
But, also, the pain in our souls,
Unending and more real.
 
The sufferings born of this world,
Will pass away with death,
But those born out of sin filled lives
Have an eternal breath.
 
It wasn’t about healing ills,
His was a greater plan.
For He came not to make us whole,
But holy once again.
 
Matthew: 8:2-3 A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.
