Tell No One Who He Is

-
Jesus sternly told the evil spirits not to tell anyone who He was. 

Mark 3:12
Gustave Doré - Jesus Healing the Man Possessed with a Devil

They were not to speak Your name,
the evil
that possesses men.
They whispered
in vile tongues
when recognizing Your lineage.
You ordered their silence
when cast out from flesh and bone.
Return to the bowels
of a realm
where sin festers without rest.

The thing that screams
when torn from the soul
tastes Your name
on its vile tongue.
Filth
of a demon
cannot touch Your purity.
Evil
cannot pay heed to Your goodness.

The order is stern
and shadows submit,
without choice,
to the light.
You hold governance
over every entity created.
For it is said,
that once Satan, like Judas,
was one of Yours.

Jesus in the Snow

This picture hung on the side of my parents refrigerator when I was a child.  I was always intrigued by the black and white blotches which did not seem to form anything recognizable.  One day I asked my mother about the photograph.  She said it was the face of Jesus and that if I looked closely I could see Him. I could not for the life of me see our Lord in the meaningless menagerie of spots.  I remember standing at the side of the refrigerator staring at the picture as it hung there almost taunting me. One day, in my teen years, when I wasn't really trying to see the face in the black and white blotches anymore, I saw Him.  Maybe I needed to see the face more, at that age, when I was on the threshold of adulthood then when I was a child.  Now, as the years have passed, I find it difficult not to see Him in the patterns of melting snow on the mountainside. ~ I have a question for you.  When you look at the patterns of melting snow, do yo...

Does our law allow these things? And with the question He points back to scripture. "Have you not read". All the answers are right there. But you have to have eyes to see and ears to hear. Why then... and but...? Because you are dense, hard to teach. Two shall unite, man and woman, as in the days of creation. No man may separate or redefine. They ask a question, specific, and the Lord's answer encompasses so much more. They question divorce and He defines marriage.
