Matthew 28: Whom Christ His brethren owns

Religion
Whom Christ His brethren owns.
Are God's adopted sons:
Jesus with His brethren shares
All that God to Him hath given;
Join'd with Him, the sons are heirs.
Heirs to pompous thrones in heaven.
Tis then we soon shall find
The joy for us design'd.
That inheritance receive
Purchased by our Brother's blood.
All His image bear, and live,
One with Christ, as Christ with God.
