When People Learned of Jesus Christ

Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 23:8-10 Lyrics: When people learned of Jesus Christ, they came to hear him preach. They longed to find out for themselves what Jesus had to teach. They pondered over parables, and gave his words much thought, but what they most remembered was the love that Jesus taught. He turned the water into wine and multiplied the bread, becalmed the heavy, stormy seas, and even raised the dead. The people wondered at the signs and miracles he wrought, but what they most remembered was the love that Jesus taught. He answered scribes and Pharisees who would with him contend. He healed the sick, the blind, the lame, and was the sinners' friend. They marveled at his prophecies, the healing that he brought, but what they most remembered was the love that Jesus taught. We may not work a miracle, fulfill a prophet's role, encourage sinners to repent, or make the wounded whole, but, as disciples, we can tell we've found what all have sought: the never-ending love of God, the love that Jesus taught. Dear God, at home, at work, at school, in all of life, we pray, help us be teachers who reveal your love for us today, that all the world may recognize the spirit that is caught when his disciples try to live the love that Jesus taught.

Fountain of gladness, solace in sadness, more than a brother, father or mother, to thee we render tribute of song. 2 Jesu, we bless thee, worship, confess thee; shepherd of the sheep thou art: shelter, protect us, tend and direct us, strong of arm and kind of heart: shadow and moonlight turn into moonlight; soften the scorner, comfort the mourner, rule our behavior, order our way: bide with us, giving grace to the living, shrift to the dying freely supplying, be thou our Savior ever and aye.
