A New Awareness

Date:

I am making it known to you,
The Good News already as told;
Which is entirely all true,
Exactly how it did unfold.

For this is what your faith is based,
On the premise you have received;
With the suffering you have faced,
In all of which you have believed.

You are then saved by this Gospel,
If you hold on to this doctrine;
That I taught to all the people,
Through a spiritual discipline.

Unless you believe and no doubt,
Without having a second thought;
You understand fully about,
No further answers will be sought.

Christ died to take away all sin.
Just as the Scriptures predicted;
His Spirit will then cleanse within,
To cure the body infected.

His birth came from a human womb,
For thirty three years come what may;
When Christ died was put in a tomb,
Brought back to life on the third day.

I am like a fetus unborn,
Who had been given a new life;
And given the chance to sojourn,
As I burden toils and strife.

The kindness of God has made me,
Of just the way I am today;
His kindness gave insight to see,
As I merely trust and obey.

So I work harder than others,
But it was not I who did it;
To excel over my brothers,
His kindness gave me the merit.

Whether I or another one,
This is the message that I brought;
Always remember of the Son,
And what His body and blood bought.

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.
