Marcia's Poem of the Week 2.25.2022

 

Poem of the Week by Marcia  February 25, 2022

1 Peter 3:18 New Living Translation: 18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit.

 

SAFELY HOME,  I Peter 3:18

 

The Model Church of Bible-days,

Portrays the ones that exist today,

Our church isn't named in its pages,

But it's feet still lead the way.

 

The world rejects God's Way,

Because of the world, it's not,

And believers share the Word today,

With a hope that will never stop.

 

Ages are measured by God's influence,

As He passes along His Word,

And the flow of love is continuous,

To bring you safely home to God.

For my great grandsons: Jeremiah, Tobiah and Elijah

 

SAFELY HOME I Peter 3:18

 

God wants you to know the goal,

Is to have His love come to be,

And how your very heart and soul,

Can shine bright for all to see.

 

Not because of what you've done,

But because of what Jesus did,

And the path that He has begun,

Now aids you in how to live.

 

For His love keeps you sin-free,

And equips you to uprightly trod.

You're made the best you can be, 

To bring you safely home to God.
