He makes a choice

After Hebrews 11:24-27 

He had a choice

to be known by

his adopted name,

his position and

title, or to embrace

his lowly, enslaved

birth, to choose

the way of ease and

wealth, or the way

of the slave, toil

and hardship and

persecution.

He knew the cost.

Did he surprise

himself when he

chose the harder,

wiser way?
