Easy No! Worth it - Yes!

Just a few scriptures in Luke 6:27-28 shows us that it is not easy to follow Jesus. The Bible clearly states a Christian who truly follows Christ will not have an easy life; but in the end, it will be worth it!


Poem Artwork

Jesus Christ said; "Love your enemies” but you know we would rather hate them instead.

Jesus Christ said; “Do good to those who hate you” but seeing them, we feel dread.

Jesus Christ said; “Do good to those who hate you” but we love to hate them instead

Jesus Christ said; “Bless those who curse you” but we curse them under our breath.

Jesus Christ said; “Pray for those who mistreat you."

The truth is we don’t want to pray for our enemies before we go to bed.

 

The words of Jesus are in red; our flesh is written in grey.

But this would be a better world if the red letters had their way.

Jesus came so we can have life, so let us walk with Him.

We can have a future in eternity walking with The One that’s free from sin.

Amen

 Luke 6:27-28 *NIV: Jesus Christ said; "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who  curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."

WOW! Very interesting way of using scripture and your thoughts at the same time. My answers would have been the ones in grey. Yet being a christian they must be in red for the lords words were written in red. Great job on presenting this one. God Bless. GEORGE AKA THE WISE OLD OWL
