Jesus

He ate.

He slept.

He prayed.

He was, a man.

New Testament: Be ye serpents, Be ye doves

Be ye wise,

shrewd, as serpents.

Be ye innocent,

harmless, as doves.

(Slight adaptation of Matthew's Gospel, Chapter 10, Verse 16)

New Testament: The Harvest

The harvest is plenteous,

the labourers few.

(Part of Matthew's Gospel, Chapter 9, Verse 37)

Attachment

Where you lay your treasure,

there will your heart be.

(Play on words of Matthew's Gospel, Chapter 6, Verses 19-21)

The distinguished few

If you love those who love you,
what reward have you?
Do not all men do the same?

And if you salute those who salute you,
what reward have you?
Do not all men do the same?

And if you bless those who curse you,
have heart for those who hate you,
pray for those who persecute you,
few are those who do the same.
