Analysis of Inheritor Sons



As long as He is a child,
Is no different from a slave;
He will be Lord undefiled.
Crucified and into a grave.

But He is under guardians,
Managers until a set date;
For all the righteous champions,
That will enter the narrow gate.

When we were children and enslaved,
In bondage under the factors;
Of this world how we have behaved,
By the secular distracters.

When the fullness of time arrives,
God sent forth His Son being born;
To redeem every one that thrives,
As adopted sons that sojourn.

Because you are sons and daughters,
God sent His Spirit in your heart;
Dunked in the baptismal waters,
That is giving us a fresh start.

So you are no longer a slave,
Rather being an heir through Christ;
That the Father assured to save,
From earthly things that have enticed.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
