OUR COMPANION AND OUR MESSENGER

 









OUR COMPANION AND OUR MESSENGER



Jesus is OUR faithful companion

WHO walks with us

And talks with us

On our JOURNEY through life


He is our HOLY COMPANION

Our leader

And our messenger


Who carries

THE MESSAGE OF GOD


In fact

He is our scout

He goes up ahead

TESTS the waters

And tells us

Which way to go


He explores

The most productive

The most hospitable

And guides us

To the BEST VENUE for our life

And HOW to find PEACE


And WHERE to find

The most RECEPTIVE people

For our message


We are NEVER ALONE

For we have

The COMPANIONSHIP of God

And God's own Son

Who is ALWAYS with us


And the companionship

Of our brothers and sister

In Christ

Who WALK ALONG with us

FOLLOWING Christ's message

(AND GOD'S)


“Who has

BELIEVED our message

And to whom

Has the arm of the Lord

Been REVEALED?” Isaiah 53:1


I BELIEVE LORD

I BELIEVE in your message

Of love-and mercy-and forgiveness


For your love

HAS TRANSFORMED my life


Your message has

Given me the FAITH

To live off of

YOUR POWER

Not my own


“Consequently

Faith comes from

Hearing the message


And the message

Is heard through

The WORD OF CHRIST” Romans 10:17


THE MESSAGE of Christ

The message of God

Is to

Pick up our crosses

And COME and follow him


The cross of chronic illness

The cross of financial debt

The CROSS of broken relationships


The cross

Is the ONLY WAY to SALVATION


“And anyone

Who does not pick up his cross

And FOLLOW ME

Is not worthy of me


WHOEVER finds his life

Will lose it

And whoever loses his life

For my sake will FIND IT” Matthew 10:38-39


JESUS CONQUERED his cross

Through love and forgiveness

Only to LIVE AGAIN


We CAN do the same

That is Jesus' MESSAGE


I am following Jesus

To HOPE AND SALVATION


Are you

COMING WITH ME?


Let us

ALL FOLLOW THE MESSENGER
