A worker, unashamed.

Haiku responding to 2 Timothy 2:8-15


I've been in prison

for the sake of the gospel:

Jesus Christ, risen.


Enduring hardship

that the many might be saved;

God's word is not chained!


The saying is sure:

we have died with Christ Jesus;

so we live with him.


We endure; we reign

with him. Should we deny him,

he will deny us.


Should we prove faithless,

he will stay faithful. Unreal,

that is who he is!


Trivial disputes

should be avoided; they do

no one any good.


Bring yourself to God

as one approved; without shame,

a worker for truth.
