Meet Jesus' Sacrifice

[JR]

Would Jesus go to through all the suffering of the cross
If God's promises were a lie?

Do we truly believe
The entire Bible is the infallible word of God
When we discount its application
To the modern day church?

When Jesus said we could do the works He'd done
And even more,
Did He really mean just some of them?

When authority gets heart service,
But God gets lip service,
Have leaders become our gods?

Jesus respected authority.
But, who did He bow to?

If we don't know how to do the works Jesus did,
Isn't He the best One to learn from?

When we omit consideration of one's heart,
Have we become a better judge than God?

When all Satan has power to do is to roar,
Why do we let him devour us?

Have we forgotten who is KING?

Have we forgotten whose we are
As children of the KING?
