These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Shakespearean Sonnet: "God & Man"

This Jesus from eternal Home to Earth
has gifted His Dear Presence just to save
the lost ones, who had need of His new birth,
redeeming them from Sin's appointed grave.

He came a humble man, though Lord of All.
He died in pain, though angels strained to hear
one Master's Word to fight at moment's call.
They stayed in pain, that Sin He'd fully clear.

In royalty, He lived His Stable Place.
Was placed in stable home in Bethlehem.
He lived on Earth in Gentleness and Grace,
was smelted in the fire, this lasting gem.

The God-Man He created and He serves.
Eternal Glory always He deserves.
