ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS by Stan Arney © 2007 “Actions speak louder than words”, is a cliché But something, in this case, that we will prove today Jesus lived His life without committing a sin This took plenty of restraint and self discipline He taught lessons by helping people along the way Each being a metaphor, we can use today He healed the blind, once revealed, so now we can see What God’s ultimate purpose is for you and me He fed the starving people and quenched their thirst We have His Word, so now you too can be well versed He even brought people back from the dead With eternal life, death is not something to dread By accepting God’s gift of salvation, we learn That in eternal damnation, we shall not burn This does not mean we shall not be tempted by sin Nor does it mean we shall never commit a sin What it means is that God will forgive and forget Asking for His forgiveness, a prerequisite Jesus also scolded the religious leaders Cause they were suppose to be the people’s teachers They used the church for their own personal gain A house of worship and prayer, His Father’s domain What they failed to realize was coming true The fulfillment of Scriptures, what a clue They knew the Messiah, the Christ, which was to come And that He would rule a never-ending kingdom Their resistance was futile, for God had His plan The sacrifice of His Son, would forever save Man Which meant that the religious leaders would cause His death The great shepherd saved His sheep with His very last breath So now we know two sources and the great effect All of us sin or will sin, we are not perfect Jesus did not differentiate anyone But He did lay the foundation of salvation “Actions speak louder than words”, may be a cliché Are you walking, by Jesus’ example today? |
