Beautiful Christians?


Sometimes it pays
to search the heart and ask

What would Jesus Do?

Stick his nose into everyone's business
whether it was wanted there or not?

Throw his weight around
and act holier than thou?

Always try to instigate trouble with others
who might not see things like he did?

Have a BAD attitude
cold enough to freeze sunshine
and rude enough to offend St Job?

Never temper his words with kindness
just blast others like slaves
or inferiors beneath his holiness?

Decide that the whole world must do
everything he said...immediately
or be cast away forever?

Be intrusive and disrespectful to those
simply minding their own business?

Let the things he suffered make him
bitter and unkind and just plain hateful?

What would Jesus do?

Would he act like so many
'Beautiful Christians'
Spoiling for a fight with everyone
they dislike or disagree with?

God is love, and Christ never
forgot his warfare was NOT
with people, but spiritual powers

Jesus was kind and approachable
to the lowest, vilest of sinners

The only people he denouced
and spoke harshly to were hypocites
and religious fanatics

What would Jesus do?
Would he be like you?


*
'Ye Know Not What Spirit Ye Are Of'

'We war not against flesh and blood'

'The Publicans And Harlots will enter
the kingdom of heaven before you'

Holy Bible*

Lady La Belle~
Divine love He has given.
His teachings have been revered as he walked
among us. Today we pray. What would Jesus do? Fine writing.

For the light of honest love is divine and lights the universe. A rendering that moves my spirit in the direction of righteousness with human compassion. A motivational wonderful work of art Belle. Thank you for stirring my soul. Jon Michael

He certainly was no Preacher, but a teacher, a man of the highest courage, who taught not but love,and practiced it, it takes an immense amount of courage, which finally took his life. You say it well, Red, what we have now, is the law, though shall'ts not, or you will be stoned, outcast, torturred, put in jail, and God knows what else, where is the love? I think Ronald hit on a point with the new Pointive, he finally spoke up for those who for whatever reason did and do not fit the mold, and finally too, for his name sake, for the awful un christian things we do to the creatures of this world. Daniel hit on a note which says it best, he did not judge, but brought nothing but love. We could try that with more effort in his spirit, I think when they made Him a god, it was a good excuse, for most Christians to say, oh I am only human, I can't possibly do that, then when they sin, they put another nail in his foot on the cross. Your most wonderful piece, what would Jesus do, hit a note, and almost tempted me to write once more. Lov, Jasmin.

You would have to visit many a church on sunday morning to find Jesus at one of them these days, his church was being out with down and out people, low class and lowly folk by todays' standards( not mine) even people the "Christians" would call evil doers like harlots, etc. Thats who he ministered too! The Bible says true religion is ' helping orphans and widow'!!!!

Bell says it Best...we all trip, stumble and fall...ask for forgiveness and try to better ourselves in the long haul..."what would Jesus do?"...pour out love, let it fall and see who gets the gest of all things that are beautiful and rely on love!

Always,

I don't believe I read it before during my days of off-and-on reading, but you hit a home run with this one. I find myself more and more using the phrase, "What would Jesus do."

I am so grateful to the Roman Catholic Church for finally choosing a papal leader who understands what it means to be the candle bearer for Jesus.

My admiration level for your poetry just shot through the roof!

"What would Jesus do," indeed. We all can look unto ourselves and find that we can be very lacking in compassion, my comment to your last poem points that out sadly. Hopefully we learn from our mistakes, and can correct them in the future. I'm sure we all know "What would Jesus do."

Christ's example, as laid out in the New Testament, speaks for itself. I have no doubt that if he were here among us today, he would behave in the same or similar manner, just as you have suggested. John

I KNOW THAT MANY CHRISTIANS ARE TERRIBLE REPRESENTATIVES OF WHAT THEY CLAIM TO BE. BUT, WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN? A CHRISTIAN IS A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST. WE DON'T ALWAYS DO A GOOD JOB OF FOLLOWING AND, MANY TIMES, CHRISTIANS ARE NOT PERFECT, BUT WITH REPENTANCE, WE ARE...FORGIVEN. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CHRISTIAN AND THE NON-CHRISTIAN...THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES THE CHRISTIAN 'BEAUTIFUL' IS THE GRASPING OF FORGIVENESS, THROUGH 'FAITH'. OFTEN WE ARE SPIED DURING WEAK MOMENTS, DOING AND SAYING THINGS THAT WE SHOULDN'T. HOWEVER, THERE IS A INWARD WORK OF GROWTH(GLORY TO GLORY)GOING ON THAT CANNOT BE SEEN...YET. WE OFTEN STUMBLE ALONG THE WAY. WE COME SO SHORT AND IF NOT FOR WONDROUS MERCY AND GRACE WE WOULD BE DESTROYED. BUT, HOLD ON MY FRIEND, KEEP WATCHING! FOR, WE FALL, WE GET BACK UP, WE CLING, WE REPENT AND WE...PRESS ON! SO THEN, THE CROSS? IT WAS, INDEED, FOR 'ALL' BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIANS, WHO SHALL ONE DAY...WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN...COME FORTH AS PURE GOLD! THANKS FOR SHARING, LA BELLE. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Jesus loved teaching in the fields, by the boat docks, ........oh! you have put it the way it is written. As for "what would Jesus do?", He'd do it all again with love. Great write, my friend!

Love ya!
