Eternal Echoes: The Unwavering Authority of Faith #274

Eternal Echoes: The Unwavering Authority of Faith In the quiet heart that whispers to the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ, There lies a steadfast virtue, an eternal quest for life. Beware the siren calls of teachings strange and new, For the true path is one of support, a journey toward what is good and true. Jesus, unchanging, stands firm through the ages, His words in Mark, a testament across the pages: "Son, your sins are forgiven," a declaration of divine grace, A reminder, "The Son of Man," with authority, in this earthly place. Faith, a force, propelling action, a belief that moves and breathes, In the story of four friends, their conviction weaves A tapestry of hope, tearing roofs, daring, bold, To bring their friend to Jesus, a miracle to behold. Forgiveness spoken, sins washed away, A body healed, in light of day. A challenge to the norm, a divine authority claimed, For only God forgives sins, yet Jesus proclaimed. Through healing, through mercy, his actions spoke, Of a power divine, a yoke Of love and authority, intertwined, revealed In every act, every healing, in every field. Prophecies of old, Isaiah's words, a psalmist's song, Foretold of a Messiah, powerful and strong, To heal the lame, to know the heart, a shepherd to his flock, Jesus, in his actions, upon this truth, we dock. Let this be a call, a reminder of faith in motion, Of the unchanging authority of Jesus, as deep as any ocean. In every act of kindness, in every deed of faith, We embody his love, his power, his grace. -Written by Steven G. Lee (February 11, 2024)
