God, help us obey your choice
of
"Leader of Humanity",
as
we learn, ignoring noise
from worlds - which (claim, but) aren't free.
"Go
to all the world", he said
and "make
disciples (as you've seen
me
do with you - now un-dead)
disciples,
who are just like me."
For
I've been a "Matheetees"*
myself, and learning from "Äbba"^.
Son
of Man does what he sees
is being done by his father!
As
a "father" teaches "son"
- approaching all this world like him;
so
their family is one
in
goal and in their purposing;
"God, you need to help them do
in
action, & in practices,
all
the things we told them to
till
the day their father says."
Christened "Lord", & "Emperor",
"High - Prime Minister/ President",
"High- Priest/ Prophet/ King, and Shah",
the "Coach",
and "Boss", where-e'r you went,
God
is sending you back "soon",
we
want to do what we're told
(not
because you're a baboon
but)
because your wise Love’s Gold!
* Matheetees (greek) word used in the NT and in the LXX for the "disciple" of a Jewish Rabbi (teacher).
^ Abba (Aramaic) word used by sons & daughters for their own father. According to Mark 14:36, used by Jesus in private, when addressing God when in anguish in the Garden of Gethsemani, & subsequently referred to by Paul (in "Romans" & "Galatians") as what the spirit of Christ would enable his disciples to call out to God too.
That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word.
He awakens Me morning by
morning,
He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
The Lord God has opened My ear;
And I was not disobedient
Nor did I turn back.
6 I gave My back to those who strike Me,
And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard;
I did not cover My face from humiliation and spitting.
For the Lord God helps Me,
Therefore, I am not disgraced;
Therefore, I have set My face like flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
He who vindicates Me is near;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand up to each other;
Who has a case against Me?
Let him draw near to Me. (Isaiah 50:4-8 NASB)
18 Jesus drew near and said to them, “I have been
given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them
my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit, 20 and teach them to
obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end
of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20 GNB)
By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His
commandments. The one who says, “I have come to know
Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in
him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been
perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same
manner as He walked. (1 John 2:3-6 NASB)
