A Way Chosen

Early in his life Jesus had chosen
the high road, the kingly way, and
now that there was danger and a
cruel Cross challenging his way, he
still chose the high road
Maybe he could have avoided the
Cross he could have compromised
with his prosecutors; he could have
prevented arrest by running away
across the Jordan River, out Of
reach and away from it all He
could have retreated and III some
little town far away he could have
resumed his trade as a carpenter
and lived on to a ripe old age
But he had chosen the high road
He had been sent Of God on a
mission. and now that there was
danger and death facing him be
stu set his face steadfastly' to
80 on. even though d Cross stood
in his way
A Way Followed

So long as the existing ~fortresses
of isolation are maintained in the
