Become a Robot
Become a robot
follow God,
Rules, regulations
restrictions,
Become a slave
to a tyrant
an invisible nothing who shouts
pain into the world.
But if Jesus
was real,
If history has truth
If bibles, Koran record Him,
If millions of lives through time
believe a real Jesus walked the earth,
He was either the greatest lie
Or the only important fact.
The Jesus I know,
broke the rules
of the religious,
embraced differences,
The Jesus I know
showed love
deep beyond any previous experience,
The Jesus I know
Said "I am the Way, Truth, and Life"
The Jesus I know
died and rose,
to give planet earth choices,
to give you hope now,
The Jesus I know
gifts real life
radical relationship
with a Living God.
The Jesus I know
said, "Come follow me
whoever drinks the water
I give them
will never thirst,
a spring of water
bubbling eternal life.”
God saves You
Knows You
in Jesus.
Do you know my Jesus?
Prompt
A poem exploring ideas about the reality of Jesus? Did he walk Earth
follow God,
Rules, regulations

Become a slave

an invisible nothing who shouts
pain into the world.
