The Meaning of the Cross

Date:

Take a look at how large,
The letters in these words;
Telling you to take charge,
What will be afterwards.

Some want to make a deal,
From a physical thing;
They beg, borrow and steal,
For the pleasure to bring.

Their aim is to avoid,
Any persecution;
Because they are annoyed,
Of such execution.

Because the cross of Christ,
Does not have the meaning;
In being sacrificed,
As for intervening.

It is clear that not those,
Who have been circumcised;
Not a one of them knows,
The Law as emphasized.

Yet they want you to be,
Circumcised as to boast;
On what as a decree,
Faithful to the utmost.

I relate to the cross,
In a relationship;
Crucified as a loss,
But gaining a new grip.

So I grip onto Christ,
As a new creation;
And not to be enticed,
Through intimidation.

For being what I am,
As a part of His flock;
Since I am just one lamb,
Who listens to His talk.

Mercy will come to rest,
To all who will conform;
And when doing your best,
Enabled to reform.

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
