Jesus Christ Bought Our Heavenly Jewels

RECEIVING our rewards on Judgment Day, we hope to be worthy of MANY. ENTHUSIASTICALLY serving fellow man, good deeds bring divine JEWELS. WISDOM'S love determines the eternal temperament, which a soul ends IN. FAITHFULNESS, bearing hardships, begets great strength within us EACH. REWARDS on earth rust and corrupt; spiritual blessings are HEAVENLY. THE life of Jesus Christ ended with thorns in His CROWN. SUFFERING for sin required spiritual death; so, before Christ, transgressions WERE. SOULS’ absolution, the resurrection, brought forgiveness by Him, BOUGHT. POOR decisions followed by repentances determine the holiness a man lives BY. RECKLESS commitment to God can increase sin, leaving one less INNOCENT. HEARTS striving to choose the right is a true Christian’s life-BLOOD. © July 24, 2011 Dane Smith-Johnsen Written for Poetry Soup Member Contest: A JEWEL IN YOUR CROWN Sponsored by: Brian Strand Please Notice the CAPITALIZED Beginning-word and end-word vertical one-line poems.
