A Portrait of Jesus

Date:

Who believes our message?
To whom that God has revealed;
Having the right of passage,
Through the gate that has been sealed.

He grew up in His presence,
Merely like as a young tree;
The vital part in essence,
Rooted for making us free.

He had no form of beauty,
That would make us look at Him;
Not someone of royalty
But having a spiritual vim.

Merely a regular guy,
No features to desire;
But somewhat humble and shy,
With preaching to admire.

They despised and rejected,
Some of the things He did say;
He merely redirected,
Who tried to make Him their prey.

He was a man of sorrow,
Familiar with suffering;
But had faith in tomorrow,
Reigning in Heaven as King.

He was despised by all those,
People who turned their faces;
Since He wore normal clothes,
Not worthy of embraces.

Surely He bears our griefs,
And suffered through the sorrow;
But all with the same beliefs,
Will see a new tomorrow.

All of us have strayed like sheep,
Each one has gone his own way;
Ungodly dreams in your sleep,
As the world leads you astray.

He had never spoke a lie,
And unjustly set His fate;
But we will be asking why,
On that day and be too late.

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.
