Jesus - The teacher (Vol 3 No 37)
Jesus, a teacher bold
Used wisdom new and old
To give the peasants hope –
The ones who could not cope
With unjust systems of his day;
He preached and taught a different way.
He said God’s love was sure;
No need for temple law;
For him God was at hand;
‘Gainst priests he took his stand;
Incurring wrath of those in power,
He struggled to let justice flower.
He could not be ignored;
Rome’s violence used the sword!
And Jesus knew the cost;
His truth could not be lost;
And so he went to Calvary
To claim for all true equity.
His claim was not in vain;
His life and love remain;
He’s there in those who strive
To help what’s good survive;
His death and resurrection show
That love still lives. Let justice grow!
