Date:

Remember you were once a Jew,
And when you had been circumcised;
Because of what some have called you,
That many others have despised.

At that time you were without Christ,
Excluded from citizenship;
Because of becoming enticed,
Having the wrong relationship.

God has made a promise to you,
You had no hope not having God;
Nothing seemed to make sense or true,
As you went through life being flawed.

But now going through Jesus Christ,
Before that seemed so far away;
Brought you near from blood sacrificed,
Stopping you from going astray.

He is our peace being one,
Breaking down the barrier wall;
Being all because of the Son,
Since Adam made the first downfall.

Hostility had kept us apart,
Over the demands of the Law;
But Jesus caused a change of heart,
As the Spirit erased the flaw.

He might create to a new man,
Of the two into one for peace;
Because God had it in His plan,
So that hostilities would cease.

He also brought them back to God,
In just one body by His cross;
Killed aggression that made you flawed,
That has been reversing your loss.

He came to you with the Good News,
Of peace that was so far away;
Which will give you the right to choose,
To give honor and to obey.

You have been built in the Spirit,
Together with many others;
Onto the place you inherit,
Along with sisters and brothers.

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.
