Jesus The Story Teller

The life and ministry of Jesus
seen through the lens of Easter faith
are revealed to us in the gospels
opening our hearts to follow the Way.

Passed down through the years
and shared by prophets of God
from a variety of backgrounds
all giving a willing nod.

Having said, "Yes" to God’s Spirit
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
gathered with wisdom and knowledge
traditions and stories passed on.

They reveal the character of Jesus
as a teacher, preacher and friend,
a miracle worker and story teller
sharing parables of every day events.

Jesus becomes the One proclaimed
teaching love of God and neighbor too
giving new life and revealing God’s reign
through his reaching out and radical views.

The narrative stories of meeting Jesus
share many stimulating themes
where he touched individuals and crowds
with His saving love and spirituality.

May all who study the gospels
seek with prayerful open hearts
recognizing and accepting the challenges
that these holy pages impart.
