in him was life..

Ye-shu-a Bar Abba's* the one who knows

the Father of all fatherhood, who is

aware of all our weaknesses, and goes

about with grieving heart, because of his

dear children, who ate fruit from tree forbade

by he who made them and gave them this world

of luscious, plenteous fruit in garden made

by him who planted trees, which then uncurled

all kinds and shapes of fruit, for them to eat.

(They didn't have a lack, more like a glut)

The first Adarm grew less, not more, complete

by eating fruit from this tree which was shut

off from that pair, be-ing the only tree

which helped them to develop, live, & grow

by eating NOT, the fruit, which they could see,

by trusting who knew better, they could know

the good that was not evil, unlike what

had come about instead, but here they were,

now knowing evil (and it was good NOT)!

We need a Second Adam as our “Sir”,

or “Lord” who knows the good to then reveal

it, introducing others to his friend

or father. He had trusted him for real,

and would now trust him to the very end!

This brings rest that's internal and profound

-  from trying to control the universe.

The God who loves unceasing is around.

We abdicate, then “rest” within our hearse.

And since he is the God who can bring dead

folk “back to life”, or maybe it is “on..

..on to a better kind of life ahead

of all humanity that's in his son,

They rest from all their work (that is their own),

but since God is the one who gives all life,

and all things in ourselves, right to the bone,

to trust him is to trust who gives each wife

to husband, and the other way around,

as chances to “look out for” more than “self”,

to learn to really love, in ways profound,

that give us energy, as well as health.

*  “In Aramaic, the prefix bar- means "son" and is used as a prefix meaning "son of". In the Bible, Peter is called Bar-Jonah in Matthew 16:17 and Nathanael is possibly called Bartholomew because he is the son of Tolmai (or son of Ptolemy, with "P" being reduced). The titles can also be figurative, for example in Acts 4:36-37 a man named Joseph is called Barnabas meaning "son of consolation". From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patronymic  accessed Friday 10 May 3:05am AEST. Thus we have Jesus (the son, of the father whom he addressed in Aramaic as “ABBA”) called CHRIST/MESSIAH, and the criminal Jesus Barabbas . Interesting possibilities from the textual variants.

At that time Jesus said, “Father, Lord of heaven and earth! I thank you because you have shown to the unlearned what you have hidden from the wise and learned. Yes, Father, this was how you were pleased to have it happen.   “My Father has given me all things. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. “Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke and put it on you, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit; and you will find rest. For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light.”

“And now, my friends, I know that what you and your leaders did to Jesus was due to your ignorance. God announced long ago through all the prophets that his Messiah had to suffer; and he made it come true in this way. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that he will forgive your sins. If you do, times of spiritual strength will come from the Lord, and he will send Jesus, who is the Messiah he has already chosen for you. He must remain in heaven until the time comes for all things to be made new, as God announced through his holy prophets of long ago.
