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.
