Daddy Speaks, I Write: Jesus Christ - AMEN!

Submitted by Elizabeth Anne on Thu, 03/28/2013 - 00:58

At the end
Of a monument,
And a
Monumental word,
We understand the grandeur
Of God.

Words are monumental
In many ways.
They can declare
God's glory
Or attack His name.

We are called
To be like Christ
And live in the
Glory of God
Each day.

Never-ending.

Jesus proclaims God
Through creating
And creation.
As should we.

We must proclaim
Every day
"Jesus...
Did THAT!"

"Jesus...
Did THAT,
And
Sustains THAT!
Jesus...
Did THAT
Too!"

He said
"No!"
When tempted
By Satan.
He said
What we
Should have said
First
(In the garden).

Look at Christ
If you wish to see God.
It is through Christ
That we can see God.
The curtain is torn
So that we can be fixed
By Christ.

The wisdom of
A sovereign God.

God is satisfied,
And we are justified
Through Christ
And not ourselves.
We cannot boast.

I become nothing
And He becomes
EVERYTHING
When love is born
Through His death
And lives
Through His resurrection.

Resurrection
Is essential for the gospel, and
Resurrection
Is essential for faith.
Death is swallowed up
In the victory of
Resurrection.

Communion
With Christ
Through His death
And resurrection
Until He returns
With power
And glory.

We will be judged.
Christ will judge.
Not all will enter
Eternal life
But many will enter
Eternal death
In hell.

Groaning-
Inwardly and
Outwardly-
Who can help us?

Jesus Christ
Is the ultimate expression
Of the glory of God.

Jesus Christ,
And Jesus Christ alone,
Amen.

Notes

This poem is titled "Daddy Speaks - I Write" for a reason. A few weeks ago, I discovered that it is actually easier for me to take my sermon notes in poem form, and it actually helps me understand it all better. So, I am now sharing what my dad spoke, and I then wrote in poem form, with you! These two are both from his two sermons on Romans 16:27 (the last verse in Romans).

YES YES YES!

I could highlight every line. You wasted no time with fillers. Thank you for this.
