The Love Of Christ Poem by Tom Zart

To many Christians accept God’s love and forgiveness
But forget to give it for misjudgments of others.
As we have been forgiven for our Worldly wrongs
We must stay forgiving to our sisters and brothers.

Every time we cling to God’s deliverance and love
Somehow we are able to weather the storms of Earth.
God always is at work transforming our fallen
To advance our perspectives, purpose and worth.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ?
Not tribulation, suffering or persecution.
We overwhelmingly defeat the evils of man
When we turn to God for His wisdom and solution.

Do you realize what it means to believers?
That one of Jesus’ last acts before dying.
Was to promise a criminal a spot in heaven
Who was guilty of greed, theft, betrayal and lying.

Trying to get leverage by pushing up on the nail
That pierced His feet to the fiber of the cross.
Jesus managed to utter these words of promise
You will be with me, whatever the cost.
