He did not shun;
he chose.
He did not shun the virgin’s womb;
he chose a mother.
He did not shun the human body;
he chose flesh and blood.
He did not shun the angel’s name;
he chose a destiny.
He did not shun the circumciser’s knife;
he chose purity.
He did not shun God’s law;
he chose obedience.
He did not shun John’s baptism;
he chose righteousness.
He did not shun Gethsemane’s cup;
he chose God’s will.
He did not shun the world’s cross;
he chose love.
He did not shun death’s grave;
he chose life.
He did not shun the creature;
he chose grace.
He did not shun;
he chose.
Beautiful. Thanks.
