Ashamed of Jesus? God forbid!

"Not me", you may be saying.


And you may be right.


But one can think he's obeying


What God expects, and not be.


Inattentiveness to what Jesus


Demanded of those who follow


Can be unbelievably subtle.


Christians there are in name only,


(One hesitates to give them that much)


Who without realizing it


Have moved our dear Master


Off the cover of their life


To the inside pages.


Jesus is not first, as He deserves,


But secondary to so much


Of little or no importance.


You and I then need to stay alert,


And not be robbed of God's unspeakable gift.


If you think the carnal mind


that hates Christ Jesus


and hates those who love Him


want us to have this treasure,


guess again.
