Effi David
Poet's note: Enough of being restricted as an evangelist or the carrier of Good News, enough of wallowing in darkness as the Light of the World, because someone has already set a pace of a great leadership for us to follow. So, we should therefore be submissive, humble and obedience enough to learn from him.
