The Way of Jesus

Royston 1946 (Reading)



Loving your enemies.
Turning the other cheek.
Going the extra mile.
Giving and not taking.

Faith moving mountains.
Stepping out of the boat.
Walking the narrow way.
A mite is more than gold.

A cup of cold water.
Mustard seed sized faith.
meekness and majesty.
The first shall be last.

The deaf shall hear.
The blind shall see.
The dumb shall speak.
The dead shall live.

… and unconditional love.

    A wonderful revealing poem if more people would follow Jesus ! A very much kinder world in which we would love our fellow man no matter what
    Such an inspiration for us all who claim to be God's own !
