Psalm 72

It took about 2 minutes to read one of the poems that Solomon wrote. In verse 14 Solomon writes of the fellowship he shares with the downtrodden of the world. The Message puts it this way;"When they bleed, he bleeds, when they die, he dies." There can be no closer communion then that. God is so in touch with those who have been rejected because that was the life he lived as Jesus. The one who delivered the greatest message of hope was dishonored, mocked, abused, and rejected. But he differs in one very significant way; he will never be forgotten. Likewise he will never forget those who follow closely after him.
