This Easter

Date:

I am making it known to you,
Of the Gospel which I had told;
Not as a certain point of view,
Rather how the truth did unfold.

Facts on which your faith has been based,
And that you are saved by this Word;
Because of Christ being disgraced,
By those who thought it was absurd.

You have been saved by the Gospel,
If you hold on to the doctrine;
So spread it amongst the people,
With your spiritual discipline.

Christ died to take away your sin,
As the Scriptures had predicted;
So the salvation you can win.
Through the pain that was inflicted.

Jesus was placed inside a cave,
But back to life on the third day;
Which was done in order to save,
Each of us who willingly stray.

To the apostles He appeared,
And to five hundred believers;
Many that honored and revered,
Having the faith as receivers.

Like a miscarriage but was born,
I was given birth into life;
So in this place I will sojourn,
Amongst the heathens who cause strife.

Never call me an apostle,
For I am not fit to be one;
I did nothing that colossal,
I only ridiculed the Son.

Because of the kindness of God,
He has made me to what I am;
So I will now honor and laud,
Paying homage unto the Lamb.

Whether then if them or me,
This is the message brought to you;
That will allow your eyes to see,
And in your mind as to construe.

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.
