Poem
www,gods-book.com In the quiet of the night, they come, Voices raised, hearts undone. “Lord, Lord,” they cry, with fervent plea, "Have we not prophesied in Your name, faithfully? We cast out demons, healed the sick, In Your name, our hearts did quick. But in the silence, a voice so clear, “Depart from Me, for I never knew you, My dear.” For deeds alone, though grand they seem, Cannot replace a heart redeemed. In love and truth, we find our way, To walk with Him, each blessed day. So seek not just the works of hand, But know His heart, and understand. For in His grace, we find our place, In the warmth of His eternal embrace. This verse is from Matthew 7:22-23, where Jesus is teaching about the importance of genuine faith and relationship with Him, rather than just performing religious acts. Here’s a deeper look into its meaning: Context: This passage is part of the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus addresses various aspects of righteous living and warns against false prophets. Meaning: • “Many will come and say, ‘Lord, Lord’”: This indicates that many people will claim to know Jesus and call Him their Lord. • “Have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons, and healed the sick?”: These are significant religious acts, suggesting that the people believe their works should earn them favor with Jesus. • “And I will proclaim, ‘Depart from Me, for I never knew you!’”: Jesus emphasizes that mere actions, even miraculous ones, are not enough. What matters is a true, personal relationship with Him. Key Takeaways: 1. Genuine Relationship: Jesus values a sincere, personal relationship over outward religious activities. 2. Heart Over Deeds: It’s not just about what we do, but the state of our heart and our connection with Him. 3. Warning Against Hypocrisy: This serves as a warning to those who might rely solely on their works without truly knowing Jesus. This verse encourages believers to focus on cultivating a deep, authentic relationship with Jesus, rooted in love and faith, rather than just performing religious duties.
