With nothing but the clothes on his back.
He entered through the church front door.
He knew them.
They knew him.
But recognized him not.

They stared.
They whisper.
He remained silent.

Some commented upon his apparel.
Still he remained quiet while seated.

The minister rose to the podium after a song or two.
And preached upon the "unrecognized" in the world.

Upon entertaining angels you might be unaware of by you.

The stranger stayed seated and focus.
And smile upon his words.
It reminded him of various parables written within the bible.

After service ended, he was asked to speak.

The stranger stood before the congregation and spoke.

Judge not, that you be not judged.
For I am Jesus simply here for my word.

No stranger have I met.
Or will ever do.
But love comes from the heart.
So be kind to those seated next to you.
