Haiku responding to 1 Timothy 1:12-17
It's all about grace.
The writer shows gratitude
for new life in Christ.
Listing his failures,
which are many, the writer
expresses wonder.
He called me to serve;
I, who had blasphemed, a man
of violence. What grace!
The grace of our Lord
overflowed for me, pouring
out Christ's faith and love.
The saying is sure:
Christ Jesus came among us
to save the sinful.
First among sinners,
I received mercy, showing
the patience of Christ.
If I can receive,
by faith, Christ's eternal life,
so can anyone!
To the ageless King
immortal, be honour and
glory, forever!
