Four Journalistic Accounts (Mark)

 

Behold My Servant


                                            

Matthew to Mark was a quantum leap
From king down to “Jesus the Servant”,
No genealogy was required in this case
But key persons were used as a reference.

First a testimonial from John the Baptist
Re: coming after but preferred before
And God Himself was a reference,
Tell me, who could ask for more?

The Holy Spirit testified of him
This occurred at the baptism of John
And Jesus himself said he came to minister
As a reference, he must be accepted as one.

In one encounter with a blind man
He requested of him what to do,
No doubt he knew what the man required
But his was a servant’s point of view.

When questioned regarding the end
He indicated that was in the Father’s hand
He knew quite well a servant’s place
And stuck to the Master’s plan.
