God called you to endure, Suffer because of Christ; This is so to ensure, Be no longer enticed. For Christ suffered for you, Leaving an example; So you could then construe, To be a disciple. So then you can follow, Through within His footsteps; And remaining hallow, In the hope as it preps. Christ never had a sin, He never did deceive; Was purified within, Spoke to you to believe. Christ never spoke abuse, To those who abused Him; Only to introduce, You to spiritual vim. Christ never made a threat, And never held a grudge; But is leaving your debt, To the one that will judge. Christ carried our sin, Upon Him to the cross; Giving us discipline, As we gain for His loss. So we can live a life, That God gives approval; Through prayer for the strife, Asking for removal. We had been all lost sheep, Could not find an escape; Now through prayer we can leap, For new life to take shape. C Copyright © 2015 Richard Newton Sherrer Vote for this poem
