"Bringing Folks To Jesus" [Module#447] (John 18:9-16; Matt.26:48-58 etc.)
What of the folk who came that night
To visit Jesus there
In Garden of Gethsemane
By torch-light – those who dared –To come to Prince of Peace with swords
And weapons on their sides;
The friends that Judas brought to Christ
Out for an evening ride.“Hey Jesus, I have brought some folks
Not interested in talk;
Talk’s cheap, they want some action now,
To shift their talk to walk.”In darkness we seem bigger than
When daylight lights us up;
So which is real – light in the dark?
Or dark when day’s enough?Reactions have immense effect
On those now standing by;
So what effect did Jesus have
That night when crowd drew nigh?Don’t scurry for the cover found
In shadows – come to light;
The power in darkness – of the world –
Is how the weak ones fight.“Shoot from the shadows at the ones
Upright of heart and soul”
Is how the Psalmist said in song
The evil neighbors go.Lord, I hear, “Bide on Kingdom-layer
In all that does transpire;
In Me you have eternal life,
Despite the sword and fire”.Thanks Lord for this.
