"For Real" [1st John series] (1st John 5:6-12)

“Christ was for real – no phantom He;
I know”, wrote John, “He worked with me;
Three years we walked our country’s roads,
And He relieved our weary loads.

“Don’t say to me, ‘A phantom He’,
For He was real – for real indeed;
His body functions worked like ours;
The Spirit blessed His work with powers.

“God testified to all mankind,
‘This is My Son, in Him you’ll find
Life of eternal quality,
Of this, I testify to thee’ –

“So come to Him – He bids you be –
Give Him your load, so you can see
The race which God before you set,
His easy yoke will give you rest.”

Thanks Lord for this.
