The Lord Jesus Christ

Lord Jesus
tried to teach us

forgiveness
truthfulness

not to worry 
not to be greedy
to be trustworthy

in dealing with people
And to greet people

That means everybody
not just friends and family 

to have compassion
not place high importance
on all your possessions

to bear fruit of
faith joy love
patience goodness
kindness gentleness
and righteousness

to give
good gifts

how to pray
live for today

to hate sin
that comes from within
greed, malice, deceit,
adultery, envy, folly 


In Jesus own words
He tells us to live by his words

There is no denying
he is still trying



Jesus said:
"For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these things come from inside and make a man unclean’."  


None of us could honestly claim to bring such fruit by our own effort. Elsewhere in the Bible we are instructed that this fruit consists of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness and self-control.

I wrote this poem with the help of this website:

which is about the message of Jesus
