The words of God, the Son,
at the beginning, the start
of his earthly ministry
After the baptism, near the Jordan.
Disciples of the first to proclaim
the coming of the kingdom,
read to lead and to follow;
but only after the fateful question
to remove false expectations
to understand the way of this Messiah
the journey of His ministry
the way that would lead to the cross
