The Poetic Scriptures of John
Michael D. Wester, author
The attention of audiences have been captivated by rhythm and rhyme. Who has not appreciated the works of Dr. Seuss or listening to poems that mimic “The Night Before Christmas”? Imagine if the Bible, God’s Word, were put into that format. Would that not also capture attention? Read the following excerpt about the circumstances surrounding the death of Lazarus. Read it slowly and with care.
11:20 When the word had come to Martha
That Jesus was coming by,
While Mary stayed inside the home,
She went out to ask Him why.
11:21 “Lord, if You had been here on time,
My brother would not have died,
11:22 But I still know that God will give
Whatever You ask,” she cried.
11:23 “Your brother,” He said, “will rise again.”
