Repent and Follow Jesus – A Poem
This poem is a found poem of sorts. It is based on the principles from my Bible Study Fellowship Teaching Leader’s lecture on Matthew 11–12. I rearranged the exact words of her four principles, but the concepts are what she shared regarding this passage of scripture.
Repent and Follow Jesus
Go straight to Jesus, trust His Word,
when facing doubt and frustration
Indifference to Christ’s revelation
brings only condemnation
To those called by God who humbly obey
in faith He brings peaceful elation
The proud who stubbornly reject Christ
will be excluded from His gift of salvation

I really liked these principles and how you arranged them in this poem, Linda. Those first two lines were golden, to me. The third stanza also spoke to me as I had obeyed Him recently in confessing and asking forgiveness and repenting. It sounded hard to do, but I felt so much better afterward. It has me asking Him , “what else, Lord?” Thank you and God bless you!
