Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Life.
If you don’t know Jesus, this poem will tell you about the gift he offers to us – eternal life.
This is an amazing poem.
The author states his purpose in the opening stanza:
When I first heard the gospel news,
It was revealed to me,
Why Jesus Christ came to this earth,
To die to set us free.
I’d like to share this news with you,
Why the Lord Jesus came,
So you can have this free gift too,
When you call upon his name.
For those of you who don’t know the story of Jesus Christ and what He did for you and me, this poem will lead you in the right direction.
A poem. God’s own creation turned against him. He loved humanity and yet he was mocked, ridiculed and murdered.
A poem about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
It’s easy to forget what Jesus did for us. And it’s easy to diminish his pain. He created us; He gave us life and everything good that goes along with it. Then, his own creation turned against him. His own creation murdered him in cold blood.
Imagine, for a moment, your child turning against you. You did all you could for him. You gave him food, shelter and love. Yet, now, he hates you – without reason. He wants to kill you. Imagine how that would feel.
Cindy’s poem encapsulates the gospel quite succinctly. Jesus is the only way to eternal life. The gift is ours for the taking.
It’s not often we see a poem that encapsulates the gospel so neatly. Cindy’s poem does so.
Belinda’s poem reminds us that someday God will wipe away all our tears. He loves us.
Sometimes life metes out intense pain. We suffer. We cry. We experience loss.
But someday God will wipe all our tears away. He loves us.
God desires to interact intimately with us. And through Him, we can lead victorious lives – no matter what trials life may bring.
Sometimes, when we think we’re doing just fine, when we think we’ve got it all together – we fall flat on our faces. Then we either get up and do the same thing all over again, or we call on God to help us through.
This poem suggests a better way. Stay close to God all the time, through good and bad, and He’ll guide you and protect you every step of the way. God doesn’t want to be distant; He wants to interact with us and give us a life of victory.
This poem reminds us that God cares for our every need. He loves us and will see us through the painful trials of life.
I haven’t updated this blog for a while due to many things . . . first, my computer was out of commission for almost three weeks. Second, I was in Alaska fishing (and visiting with family) for about two weeks. So, there are my excuses. Now, on to the real reason for this post.
Melinda Lancaster writes some amazing poetry. She gave me permission to post poems from her site, so I have finally posted one. More will follow, you can be sure. This one is called “And God Cried.”
It’s a moving poem about how God cares deeply and personally for us. It reminds us that God doesn’t simply want to rule over us; He wants to be intimately involved with our lives. He wants to provide for all our needs. We can trust Him to be there when we’re in pain, alone, frightened . . . He loves us and this poem reminds us of that.
A picturesque poem about the Master Painter putting His touch on our world.
This poem by Belinda Van Rensburg creates a picture in my mind. I see the hand of Jesus, as He paints the world into existence. A mountain here, a valley there, a canyon over yonder.
All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:3 (ESV)

A poem reminding us that the Christian walk is not about rules; it’s about a relationship with the God of the Bible.
Mike’s latest submission reminds us that following Jesus is not about remembering a litany of rules. It’s about a relationship with the Jesus of the Bible.

A poem about a choice we all have: give in to temptation or resist and live a Spirit-filled life!
Another inspirational poem by Robbie.
It’s easy to give in to temptation and the lures of the world. Sin calls to us daily. But we always have an option. We can give in to sin, which leads to misery, or we can give in to the Spirit and live a life of fulfillment and hope.
Don’t forget! If you have a poem you’d like to submit (or a personal testimony), send it in! We’re called to share what Jesus has done for us. Sharing a poem or testimony is a simple way to do just that.
This poem reminds us that Jesus lived a sinless life and died a sinner’s death.
Jesus lived a sinless life. Then sinners tortured and killed Him. He died a sinner’s death. He died the death of a criminal, ridiculed and mocked.
