5 Minutes of Hope

When John the Baptist

Was tossed in jail

His cousin Jesus

Did not post bail.

While he sufered alone

He found cause to wonder

If Christ was the One

Or should he look for another?

Then Christ sent word

“John, the lame can walk!”

“The blind now see!”

“And the dumb can talk!”

“Oh, and one more thing

And this will set you free …

Blessed is he

Who is not offended in Me!”
