I wonder what would Jesus say If He were to walk into the fray Would He point and accuse The volatile atmosphere confuse Would he spend time to malign Place on forheads, the devil’s sign Would He just point and then jeer Behind cupped hand, at others sneer With sealed lips would he stare Would his children, He compare? This is what I believe He’d do When He walks into the milieu With tears pouring from His eyes Burdened down by all the lies He’d point to His wounded side “For EVERY sinner I have died!” That means me, and that means you No one is perfect; I thought you knew Oh, how His heart breaks every day From the vile things His children say With the same mouth they bless and curse All this only make the matters worse… The blood that drenched the wooden cross Was not meant to be spilled for loss It cleanses sin with crimson glow And makes each heart as white as snow The Book of Records is in His hands We all will meet that book’s demands We all must answer for what we’ve done Standing before God’s only Son So here is some advice from me If you want to taste eternity Make amends and apologize Be justified in heaven's eyes Then close the book and walk away And for the hurt ones pray and pray Only Jesus is without sin Invite His Holy presence in Forgive, forgive, and then be done Tis with His love that hearts are won. Eileen Manassian Ghali “Christ Himself did not suppress one word of truth, but He spoke it always in love. He exercised the greatest tact, and thoughtful, kind attention in His intercourse with the people. He was never rude, never needlessly spoke a severe word, never gave needless pain to a sensitive soul. He did not censure human weakness. He fearlessly denounced hypocrisy, unbelief, and iniquity, but tears were in His voice as He uttered His scathing rebukes. He wept over Jerusalem, the city He loved, that refused to receive Him, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. They rejected Him, the Saviour, but He regarded them with pitying tenderness, and sorrow so deep that it broke His heart. Every soul was precious in His eyes.” (Desire of Ages) James 3: 8 – 11: But no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.
