Two Masters?

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Mathew, Chapter 6 verse 24.



This is probably more of a challenge for Christians today than ever. People talk about patriotism. Love you country they say; and I do. What if I am asked to make a choice between my faith in God and my country? This is a source of frustration for every American who is an American but also a follower of Christ.



Poem Artwork



 Jesus said no man can serve two masters because he will be torn between them.

There will surely be times when they will ask different things of him?

 

Jesus said, “Thou shall kill,” but what if a young man is defending his land of his love.

He loves the Lord who gave the commandment; does he serve his country or his Father above.

 

Jesus said you find that you hate one and love the other or follow the one and the other despise.


The more we dwell on this the more certain we are that he was wise.


 

This is a challenge which has gone on for ages since man has always dealt with this choice.

Though Jesus said these things he knew of our pain so it in his wisdom that we rejoice.

 

Love God with all thy heart and thy neighbor as thyself and he will see.

Christ did this for us though they hung him on a tree.

With love, all things are possible. There is too much hate in the world, today, Lew, and it is sad. We have one Lord and it is Him we should serve, before all others. Sadly, sometimes, that fact seems lost. Hopefully, your poem will help others to remember.

Great job!
