The Disciples Poem by Gary James Smith

The Disciples

The disciples didn't have too many years
To reflect upon their Lord
But they had a large repetoire of amazing stories
Mostly recorded in His Word
They were in such close contact with Him
That if there was anything that was ever amiss
They'd definetly be the first to know it
And as to His teachings they'd dismiss

But no charge was ever brought
Against our Lord that we know
He lived such an exemplary life
That's why they followed Him so
They saw so many acts of faith
And miracles thrown in too
They had to admit...that this was the Son of God
Right in front of their view

Doubting Thomas had some doubts
When the disciples shared the word
That Jesus Christ was alive and well
And of that they were assured
But he wanted much more proof
This was Thomas's stand
He wanted to see the wound in His side
And the nail prints in His hands

Jesus Christ who knows all things
Knew just what Thomas had said
So He appeared unto that group again
Proving Himself alive from the dead
Saying to Thomas...stretch forth thy hand
And thrust it into my side
Reach hither thy finger and behold my hands
Be not faithless but believing He cried

And Thomas answered and said unto Him
My Lord and my God
Jesus replied because thou hast seen me thou hast believed
And went on further to share with him this word
Blessed are they that have not seen
And yet they have believed
And many other signs did Jesus truly do
To solidify that they might believe

I love these faith filled stories
How Jesus proved that He was the Son of God
How He knows the heart's of all men
How exactly He completely understood
He knows your heart my brother
Is there some 'doubting Thomas' in you?
Reach hither by your heart
And trust Him by faith
And become a Christ believer too! ! !

Hallelujah what a Saviour!
