This Preparation Place...

The lesson I am preparing for the Sunday School class is about the parable of The Unjust Steward

As I flipped through the Gardening Book I bought yesterday the words below leaped from a page…both of these examples point to what this life is all about...preparing for the next!

 

This place of grace

Where human race

Is prone to lose sight of the Whole

Is like a leap

Before death’s sleep

Unveils life’s solemn, sacred goal

This skin and bone

That soul alone

Will supersede, is but a shell

That holds the crux

Where all of us

Must choose the place for Soul to dwell

Time's vapor, fringed

With choice is hinged

To Something thought cannot descry

Of timeless deep

Beyond this leap

To by and by and by and by

We are not our own

But bought with a price

Only Jesus’ blood atones

He, sin’s sacrifice

We are not our own

But servants of HE

Who has made a way for man

To live eternally

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,

That whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3:16
