Nations and kings will shut their mouths at him. For that which they have not been told, they will see, and that which they have not heard will they consider. Isaiah 52.15

1. THE KING OF CLOWNS

There once was told, in times of old,

Of a certain story, that had no glory,

Of a fashion king, and his dancing queen,

Who lived and reigned in Forever land,

Who was invited to every ballroom and party,

Not just once, but twice as much,

To impress the public and the press,

With their latest show on how to dress.

And because they had a private tailor,

They always posed eloquently above the rest,

But pressed for time to finish by nine,

The fashion guru failed to knit and sew,

His thoughtless mind on this important matter,

So, he went before the king to present,

With magic and deception,

An outfit never to be seen,

With 3D vision and pixel color clarity,

He then described to the king this secret array,

Try it on, oh king, even the birds will sing.

And so, the king did, without a pause,

Posing fashion cool in his daring gown,

The king, crowned with only jewels, act a fool,

Not even the mirrors bend or cracked,

For in his pride, he made a public stride,

Before an audience awaiting his current shine,

And eager to please they bandit together,

With warm applause on this icy matter,

Except for one small child, a brainy little boy,

Whose pure lips and truth seeing eyes,

Would not fake the adult site.

Look, mommy! the king has no clothes on,

Then a gasp for air swept through the crowd,

You could hear a pin drop among popping eyes,

As vanity fades with the hypocrite’s cheer,

And because the king’s guard has let him down,

With private matters not for public show,

The king red-faced, was disgraced,

As the king of all the clowns.

2. WHAT MEN SAID ABOUT HIM?

I have read in Plato and Cicero, sayings that are very wise and very beautiful; but I never read in either of them: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden. Augustine

I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world, there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Charlemagne, Caesar, and I have founded empires upon force. But Jesus Christ founded His Empire upon love and at this hour millions of men would die for Him. Napoleon Bonaparte

A man who was completely innocent offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act. Gandhi

As a child, I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene. No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life. Einstein

I Nebuchadnezzar lifted my eyes to heaven and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High. I praised and honored him who lives forever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation. And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing. He does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the peoples of the earth, and none can resist his hand or say to him, what are you doing? Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, whose works are all truth, and his ways judgment, and those that walk in pride he is able to abase. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon 605 to 562 BC

To us a child was born, and a son was given. The government will be upon his shoulder. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. And of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. The throne of David and his kingdom will be established with judgment and with justice, for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 9

To all people, nations, and languages that dwell on the earth. Peace be multiplied to you. I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. He is the living God, steadfast forever, and His kingdom will not be destroyed, and His dominion will be right to the end.
