Echoes of Salvation: The Gospel's United World #103

Echoes of Salvation: The Gospel's United World In whispers of ancient scripture, a vision unfolds, Woven in the words of Christ, so tenderly told. A world not bound by chains, nor shackles of fear, But cradled in love, with freedom so dear. Behold, a divine plan for salvation's embrace, Where love reigns supreme in humanity's space. Not in dominance of one, or the power of some, But in unity of all, where no borders come. In the gospel's pages, a chorus resounds, Echoing Jesus' teachings, in harmonious bounds. "Love thy neighbor," a command so pure, A call to serve, with hearts so sure. From Samuel's ancient voice to Mark's gentle word, From Exodus' strength to Psalms' song heard. In Daniel's vision, Mark's guiding light, Matthew's wisdom, shining ever bright. Luke whispers gently, John speaks of a realm, James and Paul, guiding the helm. Thessalonians dream, Timothy's praise, In their words, a world ablaze. A world where care is a mutual tide, Where humility's grace, in hearts reside. Service to others, the highest call, In this unity, we find our all. For in each verse, a truth is spun, A tapestry of love, never undone. In Jesus' message, a world anew, Bound by love, so deep and true. So let us walk this path of light, Guided by gospel, in love's bright sight. In freedom's embrace, together we stand, In the vision of Christ, hand in hand. -Written by Steven G. Lee (January 22, 2024)
