'Jesus' Credentials' Poem by Linda Winchell

Jesus’ credentials… for His job
Were that of …”pain and suffering”
He didn’t need to bring a resume`
Just brought the sins of the world …and died with everything.

This job was never applied by anyone else
They couldn’t have filled the bill.
To give ones life… nailed to a cross
High upon that lonely… Calvary’s hill.

Jesus met all, “God’s” job requirements
Mastered temptation and … and was crushed for our iniquities.
Because Jesus mastered this…He is able now to help you and me.

Just step into His office and ask
The job is still open for Him to do.
He will help you through those temptations
And is always there…. Forgiving me and you.
