It's so true that if we are not for Him, we are among those who mocked Him as He was dying on the cross. But receiving Him, we completely change our world view and our purpose of living. Well said, Roy!

Another great poem that expresses your unwavering faith in God and salvation through Christ. Well enjoyed. I found this lines very personal, 'And just in time I saw myself, I wore this filthy shroud,
"Please save me Lord," (heard my voice) among this angry crowd.' Thanks, dear Roy for sharing your inspirational poem.

Roy, This is a great poem you have penned full of great descriptive words and emotions. It should have been I that was crucified, and suffered and died. That song always hits my heart. It is so true. He did nothing wrong and He still loves us and our faults! May God bless you, Elaine and all your family! Blessings, Teri

God promises us that if we believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior we will be saved. God doesn't break promises or lies. He can't dwell in anything but truth. Thank you for sharing this poem and this message with us.

God saved me from death many times. Now that I have found His Salvation, I would like to save others from death. I can't do much, but I can honor Him in writing. Thnk you for another excellent work.

Roy,

This is such a beautiful poem. Jesus put up with so much and he still loved everyone. He bears out sin to this day. God loved his son but still sent Jesus to the cross for our sins.

Well done my friend.

Regardless of the season, we all should stop and take a moment to reflect on our lives and pray that we are in good standings in the eyes of our Lord. We never know when our time to pass will come and accepting his blessings will prepare us for His light.
Smiles, Carol

Roy, there's a line here that makes no sense (to me) even though I've read it 5 times:

"I'm just a face that mock that the Lord, yes, I support the throng."

Jesus chose to suffer for us and some will cry out for his saving grace. Many will not.

I've enjoyed your poetry all year long, Roy. Many mornings, your words, reflecting scripture, have served as a lesson for me. Or a bit of hope going forward. Thank you for that, and I look forward to reading more in 2025.

Happy Christmas.
