It is said a picture says a thousand words,
I pray these pictures bring to light the verse.
If I could place a message in a bottle it would be
The message of the Cross that Christ Jesus sets man free
For no other name under heaven shall man be saved by
And any other way or god is all a huge LIE!
But the message of the Cross is foolishness to some
They do not care to know the truth or God's only begotten Son
The ocean that surrounds this bottle could be tears
Of all the one's that share this message upon deaf ears
But as Bible prophecy is playing out in 2 Timothy 4 :1
Until the fullness of the gentiles the message will stand alone
No matter what man's iniquity and changing of God's laws
Those that love Christ Jesus will seek and learn the message IS the Cross
From salvation to sanctification to consecration cling to it
The Cross is the latitude used by the Holy Spirit
To finish the work in us that Christ first started
And those that abide in Him His truths are imparted
Many are following man's ways and abominable traditions
Taking part in idol worship that will be a demise to them
My tears could float this bottle over the many years
Because of the truth being rejected because apostasy is here
Like Paul I feel as if I've become the enemy because of truth
Yet it is the Holy Spirit promised to lead each of us through
For there are those putting away the message of the cross
And writing books with plans that promise to deliver the lost
The Bible wouldn't fit in this bottle but the message would
If God's people want deliverance it's the Cross that paid in full
That as you received Christ therefore walk therein
Do not set the Cross aside and in Him abide for total deliverance
"The Message of the Cross in this bottle I would put therein"

2 Timothy 4:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove,
rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth,
and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions,
do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
1 Cor.1:17 -18
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel:
not with wisdom of words,
lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Galatians 5:1-10
5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ
hath made us free,
and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised,
Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised,
that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are
justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing,
nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be
none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you
shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
