(Romans 10:12) WHO WEARS MY SHOES




WHO WEARS MY SHOES
NOW THAT I AM DEAD
AND HAVE GONE UP IN SMOKE

SHOES MY MOTHER BOUGHT
FOR HER SON
TO BE PROUD OF HIM
WHEN HE WENT TO TEMPLE

WHO WEARS MY SHOES
PLACED NEATLY ON A SHELF
WITH STOCKINGS TUCKED INSIDE

TO BE FILLED AFTER
AFTER WHAT

WHEN MOSES
MET YAHWEH
HE WAS TOLD
REMOVE YOUR SHOES
THIS IS SACRED GROUND

AM I GOING TO SACRED GROUND
WILL THE SMOKE TAKE ME TO HEAVEN
WHERE THERE IS NEITHER
JEW OR GENTILE
ONLY G-D’S CHILDREN

WHOEVER GETS MY SHOES
WEAR THEM PROUDLY
FOR I AM
ONE OF G-D’S
CHOSEN

(ROMANS 3:25) AN OPINION


AN OPINION

ASK TEN DIFFERENT LAYMEN
THE MEANING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
YOU’LL PROBABLY
GET TEN DIFFERENT ANSWERS

ASK TEN CLERGY
OF DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS
THE SAME QUESTION
YOU’LL PROBABLY GET THE SAME VARIETY

IT’S A WORD
THAT BEEN USED AND ABUSED
SO THAT NOW IT’S MOSTLY A BUZZ WORD
SAID WITHOUT MUCH DEPTH

MY OWN OPINION
FOR WHAT ITS WORTH
IS THIS

WHEN SOMEONE WAS ACCUSED OF A CRIME
HEBREW BIBLICAL TIMES

BY OLD JEWISH LAW
IF HE WAS FOUND INNOCENT
HE IS DECLARED
JUSTIFIED
RIGHTEOUS
RESTORED
TO WHAT HE WAS BEFORE

NO MENTION OF CRIME
AS IF THE INCIDENT HAD NEVER HAPPENED

GOD GOES ONE STEP FURTHER

WHEN WE SIN
REPENT
ASK FORGIVENESS

HE DECLARES US JUSTIFIED
RIGHTEOUS
RESTORED

WE ARE AS INNOCENT
AS THE MAN WHO DID NO CRIME




THERE IS NO SIN THAT GOD WILL NOT FORGIVE
IF THE SINNER IS REPENTANT

WE WOULD DO WELL
TO FOLLOW GOD’S EXAMPLE
