I saw this poem the other day and thought about it quite a bit. I have fallen way short of what Jesus has commanded me to do, "He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."(Mark 16:15) As you read this poem reflect and determine if you are doing what Jesus commanded you to do.
My friend, I stand in judgment now,
And feel that you're to blame somehow.
On earth I walked with you by day,
And never did you show the way.
You knew the Savior in truth and glory,
But never did you tell the story.
My knowledge then was very dim,
You could have led me safe to Him.
Though we lived together, here on earth,
You never told me of the second birth.
And now I stand before etrenal hell,
Because of heaven's glory you did not tell!

Let us do what our King and Savior has commanded us to do. Talk to our family, friends, neighbors, and strangers about God's moral laws. Show them that they have broken these laws and on judgement day will face God and receive their sentence of eternal damnation. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."(Romans 3:23) Ask them if they will let their pleasures get in the way of their salvation? Is their life of sin worth an eternity of pain? Then explain that God sent Jesus here to earth to die for our sins. He did this so that they would not have to go to hell but spend an eternity in heaven with our Lord and Savior. All they have to do is repent from their sins and believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior. "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."(Romans 10:9)
Don't let that poem be a tribute to you. Be bold and proclaim Jesus to "all creation." Let your light shine for all to see. May God bless you!
