1 of 5

​

The gospel tells a tale

Of his humanity –

How Jesus struggled with himself

Sometimes in agony.

2 of 5

​

Desires to meet his needs,

To have authority,

And bring some magic to his cause

Sapped all his energy.

 

3 of 5

​

Temptation is too real;

And Jesus knew it well;

What struggles were his major ones

We cannot really tell.

4 of 5

​

But inner tensions came,

Just like to you and me;

Each day he had to choose again

To live love constantly.

 

5 of 5

​

There is no quick release

From wrestling with the wrong;

And Jesus wrestled just like us;

With him, we can be strong.
