Live Life

Date:

The copies of the things,
In Heaven must be cleaned;
For the evil that clings,
Has to be quarantined.

But the heavenly things,
Has to be purified;
Corruption that it brings,
Must always be denied.

So through sacrifices,
That purity will clean;
Avoid what entices,
Things that are heard or seen.

Jesus Christ did not go,
Into a holy place;
That man not caused to grow,
Rather as through His grace.

Not an imitation,
Modeled after Heaven;
But the habitation,
The Father had given.

Christ went into Heaven,
For our sake He went;
So the case was given,
That He would represent.

So each year the chief priest,
Went to the holy place;
Sacrificed for the feast,
With blood for our grace.

But Jesus had not been,
Sacrificed not each year;
Himself time and again,
Only once as sincere.

He suffered just one time,
For all of the ages;
Each and every crime,
Charged with in all stages.

Just one time He appeared,
Judgment to remove sin;
For those who have revered,
With godly discipline.

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.
