One day as I was walking along a lonely road,
I came across a person of whom I’d not been told.
He was not one prestigious – Not in the eyes of man.
He looked like one deserted, like one whom they had banned.
He had a sad composure, for tears were in his eyes.
And as I now observed him, then I began to cry.
I wondered what had hurt him. I wondered why so sad.
Why was he now deserted? Had he done something bad?
I listened to his story. I did not interrupt.
On him I had compassion. I found him not corrupt.
I learned He was our Savior who died for all our sins,
So we could be forgiven and we now live for Him.
So why was He deserted? Because of all the lies,
So many now reject Him, for they His grace deny.
His grace which calls, “Repentance,”
His grace which says, “Obey,”
His grace which speaks, “Forgiveness,”
This grace, do not betray.

“And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 John 5:11-12 Berean Standard Bible).
The Lord led me today to make a video recording of this poem and to post it on YouTube. In the video I shared that the poem was more like a parable, like something to illustrate for us what it looks like when people reject the true biblical Jesus and His biblical gospel. And those who do that include many who profess faith in Jesus with their lips but who are believing a lie and not the truth of the gospel.
For they think if they confess Jesus Christ as Lord that they are guaranteed forgiveness of all sins and eternal life with God, regardless of whether or not they keep on in deliberate and habitual sin and not in obedience to God and to His commands. But the Scriptures teach we must deny self, die to sin, and obey God and His commands in life practice if we are to have forgiveness of sins and eternal life with God.
[Acts 26:18; Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 9:23-26; Romans 6:1-23; Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 1-3; etc.]
