Paul had exhorted the Corinthians, to tap the power they had within, <br />This to live every day of their life, through the Power of Jesus Christ. <br />He said to watch with extra vigilance, in their world full of decadence, <br />To watch as they lived their lives, with all eyes fixed on Jesus Christ. <br /> <br />He said, stand fast and persevere, while living new life in Holy Fear, <br />Leaning on their new found faith, while fully relying on God’s Grace. <br />To be brave as they live each day, walking boldly in the narrow way, <br />Following Christ in all of His ways, as they live their life full of praise. <br /> <br />He said be strong in The Spirit of God, being led by His staff and rod, <br />As they build the character of Christ, within the very being of their life. <br />And to be loving in all their ways, while continuing their lives of praise, <br />This through the love of the cross, as they would seek to win the lost. <br /> <br />Also be submissive to one another, always ready to help your brother, <br />Through the Spirit of Jesus Christ, who gave for all men, his very life. <br />To greet each other with a holy kiss; today would be somewhat amiss, <br />But the thought was to warmly greet, each and every brother you meet. <br /> <br />Today in our times, much like theirs, are often filled with worldly cares, <br />So Friend we too must live our life, with watchful eyes on Jesus Christ. <br />And we need to listen to Paul’s plea, and take his instruction seriously, <br />For in The Spirit Paul is talking to, today’s Christians, like me and you. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©05/2006)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/corinthian-exhortation/
