The other name of Jesus is "hesed"*.
We recognize in him God's faithful-love,
which never ceases (even when he's dead)
- to show this he came down from up above.
And also he came up, from down below:
the first-born from the dead with that new life
the Resurrection/ New Creation "show"
the prophets talked about, to get his wife!
* "hesed", or "kesed", or "chesed" is the Hebrew term used in the Old Testament for an essential, recurring aspect of God's nature, translated "faithful love", or "loving kindness". 1Corinthians 13 in the New Testament, is a celebration of this same expressed part of God's nature, though in a different language (Common 1st Century Greek), consistent with the biblical view of the Covenantal Love of Christian Marriage.
