Concepts,
"Hero" Concepts
Drew the pagans to Christ,-
They had no Pantocrator yet,
Preachers preached Him without orthodox creed,
Concepts took time to develop,
Such as “Son of David”,
Their concept was
"HERO"
Concepts
Grow and expand,
Our concepts grew with time,
There could be many more concepts,-
We hold what was developed over years
As orthodox and canon truth
But all the ancients clung
Only to the
HERO!
Concepts
Of Jesus Lord
Were very different
From ours in the ancient cultures,
Long before dogmas were formulated,
And were developed as the truth,-
Attraction held only
The concept of
HERO!
Concepts
Varied so much,
Varied with the culture,
Many-faced Christianity
No concept trinitarian
Long before dogmas did evolve
What drew them to Jesus?
They saw Him a
HERO!
