Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

God's Benediction -2 Corinthians 13: 14

The Lord Jesus Christ brings His merciful grace
this grace of God is gifted and free upon all
God's righteousness at Christ's expense no less
for guilty sinners so they need not ultimately fall

God has many characteristics as our father
showing His great love so eternally full
this is displayed in Christ's sacrificial obedience
dying for sin this saviour our blessed jewel

The holy spirit comes down in sweet communion
to fill us with His spirit so evidently pure
this is a blessed privilege only for selected few
to know God in spirit convinced to be sure

This is God's benediction so fully complete
coming upon his people such are blessed
what majesty displayed in all His attributes
now to be still and enjoy His eternal rest

(The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.)
2 Corinthians 13: 14 (ESV)

Reason A. Poteet January 31, 2018 at 9:27 AM Nice, Gordon. Paul often used a similar benediction in his writing. It clearly illustrates three divine facets of our triune God - grace, love and fellowship. Well-written.
