PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

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!
