From David Wilkerson's Blog

I am thankful that even though Pastor David has gone HOME, his son continues to post thoughts from David's files.

Here is today's thought....

"THE CRUCIFIED MILITANT"

He was oppressed and He was afflicted,



Yet He opened not His mouth;


He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,


And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,


So He opened not His mouth” (Isaiah 53:7).



Christ was a true militant—

Fighting for other men’s rights,

Driving money changers from God’s church

And letting the oppressed go free;

Yet He Himself was oppressed . . .

And afflicted,

Misunderstood and rejected.

His own rights were denied Him:

A jury perjured Him.

Priests aroused the silent majority

With lies and half truths.

He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter.

They plucked His beard

And spit on His face.

The highest court in the land

Was prejudiced against Him;

Yet this mighty militant

Opened not His mouth

And in his sorrow claimed no rights.

He poured out His life

As an offering

To justify the rights of all men."
