POEM: Instead of Me! | Reena Rachel George, UAE

I could have been hanging in there,
I had to be punished for my sins,
I was the one to bear the brunt of my iniquities,
But my Jesus went to the Cross,
Instead of me!

What is the extent of His love!,
The God who holds the universe in His hands,
The One who orchestrates every movement and season.
He who created everything with His Word.
He took on human flesh, Left all heavenly majesty,
Was born – lived, and moved around in humble conditions,
Washed the disciples’ feet, and suffered for men He created,
Bore excruciating agony and pain both physical and mental,
And became obedient to the point of death.

For what purpose?
For me to receive the free gift of salvation,
Eternal and abundant life, and deliverance from fiery hell.
Comprehend, acknowledge, and confess His immense love.
Drink in the depths of His immeasurable love.
Be forever grateful for His forgiveness,
That sets you on the road to freedom,
Made you hold your head up high,
And become a Child of your Master.

Now is the chance!
Open your hearts to Him, and confess your sins to Him,
Accept Him as your personal Lord and Saviour,
And inherit the eternal home He has prepared for you and me,
Don’t lose the chance, it’s now or never!
