FOLLOWING THE MASTER=UNTIL OUR VERY LAST DAY=OF LIFE

 

FOLLOWING THE MASTER=UNTIL OUR VERY LAST DAY=

OF LIFE

 

Ac CHRISTIANS=we all

Have a few things to do

In this life

 

For one thing=we are

To KEEP PRAYED UP=

For another=we are to say and DO=

Act as GOD FOLLOWERS=Jesus following Christians

 

This is our job to do

UNTIL our very last=when God comes again=

Or until Jesus brings us HOME

 

“But to you WHO HEAR-I say……..”                                                                                     Luke 6:27

 

The sixth chapter of

Saint Luke’s gospel=is a HANDBOOK

For living the Christian life

 

In his Sermon=on the Plain

Jesus speaks

Of both blessings and woes=BEFORE

Telling us how to treat

Our neighbors

 

FOLLOWING THE MASTER

Until our very last days=of our life

 

Jesus INCLUDES such advice

As these

‘DO GOOD to those=who hate you=

PRAY for those who mistreat you’                                                                                             Luke 6:27-28

 

‘DO to others

As you would have them

DO TO YOU’”                                                                                                                                         Luke 6:31

 

FOLLOWING the master

At ALL TIMES=UNTIL

The very end of our life

 

“The student is

Not above the teacher=

Nor a servant=above HIS MASTER”                                                                                                  Matthew 10:24

 

“For sin=shall no longer

Be your MASTER

 

Because you are not under

The law=but under grace”                                                                                                                   Romans 6:14

 

“Those who cleanse themselves

From the latter-will be instruments

For special purposes

 

Made holy-useful to the MASTER=

And prepared

To do any good work”                                                                                                                 2 Timothy 2:21

 

Once upon a time=

I was on my deathbed=and

I made my final confession

To a Catholic Priest=I said

“To LIVE=for my family=

My friends=and ALL PEOPLE everywhere”                                                                         

 

I MEANT THOSE WORDS=

And I plan on

Keeping them=

UNTIL THE VERY LAST DAY

OF MY LIFE=
Until my Lord and Savior

Calls me back home

 

UNTIL that last day=

COMES for each of us

KEEP FOLLOWING THE MASTER

And one day=you will hear

THE MOST GLORIOUS WORDS

This side of PARADISE

 

“WELL DONE=good and FAITHFUL SERVANT”                                                                       Matthew 25:21

 

So remember chapter six=

Of Saint Luke’s gospel=and

KEEP FOLLOWING THE MASTER=

ALL the days of your life

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER LIVING-LOVING=God the HOLY FATHER!
