You have no sense
This is all just a lie
That's not how it happened
Tell the truth, don't tell a lie
Jesus entered the upper room
He addressed the men with a smile
The apostles all in disbelief
Look! He's been through such grief
No longer a smile...
Peter said I'll walk in Your shoes a while

Apostles Speak for Jesus
Whoever listens to you listens to me
Whoever rejects you rejects me
And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me [LK 10:16]

I
You know who you are; God knows
I write for peace, not growing senile
As U said, " mixing science" with Faith
Easier to join when Love poems arrive;
Each apostle# peering in my heart,
Intimates medicine, much needed balm
Risking Doctors work in words. Shalom

I write because I need to. U comment
When u need not; Jesus helps U help me
NOTE: apostle includes all followers of Jesus. APOSTLE ( Gk. 'apostolos' - means "missionary, literally 'sent out' ones, including Jesus. We use it in RSA to give honour to church leaders. Kevin Sparrow, Adelaide, E. C. South Africa teaches this clearly based on Hebrews/ Bible, viz., Hebrews ch. 3

I inhabited a small house near the shore
where the fishes of men hauled their nets,
in dawn’s waters under boats
of wood sheltered by thinning masts.
Time was when they were like kin of god
Trying to feed the hunger of men;
with bodies burnt by a merciless sun
as hands, blowin' free,
allayed 2,000 souls or more.
Riding through for many hours, to catch food
They now pray for bounty when nights break,
While we strum guitars, " The king will come",
That would supply our children’s bowls.
Our trawlers arrive and throw the sword
Weary from roughened winds, leaf, and streams
Yet,I watch them smiling under a darkened cloud,
Looking like apostles of our tiny harbor.

So; I divulge to the moon.
I demonstrate eternal life
I divulge credentials
When will I be proud
When will I be happy
I am unhappy
I want to digress and plug
What shall I do
I will digress
I want to go to Greece

(3/9/12)
Different directions the apostles had traveled
Most of life’s questions - CHRIST had unraveled.
They had questions and doubts as many do
But what they saw in CHRIST
They knew his words were true.
So many miracles that they had seen
But their faith was always tested in between.
They fell asleep when CHRIST went to the
Mountaintop to pray- they couldn’t keep
Their eyes open- what could they say.
When CHRIST fell asleep in the boat
And the winds and rain began
Fear entered their hearts and they
Woke CHRIST for his helping hand.
The lord questioned their faith
As he raised his hands to the sky
As the winds and rains did subside.
The biggest tests were yet to come
After the last supper was done.
Betrayal, denial , and crucifixion
Was in motion - to find out each
One's devotion.
He predicted that Judas would betray him
And peter would deny him three times
And for him the end of the line.
Now we all know that this was GODS plan
That the apostles will preach throughout the lands
They would create Christianity, and it would live
Through eternity.
