Jesus and New Testament demons (Vol 2 No 85)
When Jesus taught in Galilee
His hearers stood and gazed;
He spoke with such authority
They all were quite amazed.
Unlike the other teachers, he
Renounced each pious rort;
His life of such integrity
Confirmed the things he taught.
A man yelled with hostility,
“Why come here to annoy?”
He screamed with more intensity
“You’ve come here to destroy!”
But Jesus, without enmity,
Addressed that troubled soul;
He stopped that sad profanity
With poise and self-control.
These outbursts, we have come to see,
Within the gospel tales
Are those which caused brutality
And lead to violent nails.
So still these conflicts need to be
Engaged by those who care;
Such evil killed so tragically
The One whose love was rare.
We need to stand defiantly
With Jesus, and be strong;
Yes! He will battle constantly
To conquer what is wrong.
For Jesus tells humanity
How faith and hope can flower;
His victory gained non-violently
Shows love in all its power.
