SERVANT AND DISCIPLE
–
The current line of Christian thought
Among those who really care…
Is that the title “Christian”
Should be left away out there!
–
It was first coined in Antioch,
A derisive term at best…
So how come believers
Let pagans draw the family crest?
–
I know, I know–Emperor Constantine–
A pagan uncircumcised…
Saw a cross in the sky, won a great victory
And forced all to be baptised.
–
He, himself, would not confess
The faith til his very end…
His mother went to the Holy Land
Finding holy sites for pilgrim vend,
–
Terms are mixed and washed-out
Just like with Constantine..
You say “Christian” now-a-days
And we don’t really know what you mean.
–
It’s rather like the fashion of a cross,
That’s become a matter of style…
All those pendants,earrings, pins
Would make a Constantine smile.
–
Christians now are anybody
Who wants to put the label on….
The whole idea of serving obedience
Is spread out…not acted upon!
–
Servant of God and Christ’s disciple
Is whom I am in the Lord…
Serving Him means I shan’t stifle
God’s Holy Spirit and the Living Word.
–
I’ll keep using “Christian”
Out of respect for the ones who know…
That it is not a swear word
But a badge of honor when you go.
–Jonathan Caswell
So true many revel in religion and tradition. But to know Jesus is like no other. Great information and always a pleasure.
