Foremost:
Beloved.

Inspired
to utmost obedience–
His Father’s
desired:

“I have glorified you on the earth,
having finished the work
you
have given me to do.

So now,
Father,

glorify me
at your side
with the glory that I had
alongside you
before
the world was.”

*

This world
to darkness
strongly belongs.

Yet,
Conquered it! Christ.

By means peaceful,
works loving.
Prayers–all night long.

His example
Perfect
kept

I desire to follow
although inept my steps.

His words calmed fears.
Miracles dried mournful tears.

His message still preached

loud
clear

Gives nations hope

Now

as this system’s
end
draws near:

“But know this,

that in the last days

critical times
hard to deal with

will be here.

For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal,

having no natural affection,
not open to any agreement,
slanderers,
without self-control,
fierce,
without love of goodness,
betrayers,
headstrong,
puffed up with pride,
lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God,

having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power;

and from these turn away.”

*

“I leave you peace;
I give you my peace.”

“Do not let your hearts be troubled
nor let them shrink out of fear.”

His comfort,
needed:

Guaranteed.
Dear.
