Obedience is Costly but Required for a True Believer in Christ, a Poem

 I can not wait until He comes again.

Who is He?

He is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Emmanuel, God with us.

My Redeemer, my Friend.

He's coming again on white clouds.

To be suffering for His sake

I will wear as a badge of honor!

To suffer persecution on His behalf

Will be the least I could do

For Him My Savior

It will be a high honor to suffer as Christ suffered

To die for my faith

Let all who rejoice in the Lord be glad

Now and forevermore; maranatha.


It didn't take me minutes to get to this place.  But, somehow, by God's supernatural grace, He led me here.  I am always / often reminded of how "for the JOY set before Him He ENDURED the cross...." and also, now for the JOY set before us, let us run the race with eyes fixed on Jesus (Heb 12).
