“The Hardest Task” (1 Cor.15:24-28) [Sun Tsu First Half Re-Write # 7:1]

I had not realized
With Jesus at my side
I am a pain to Him
From moment we begin.

For unity of troops
Is tough – the life of groups
Is whole new aspect here;
Just part to me was clear.

I could not see how to
Engage the others too;
Society in West
Says, “Single life is best”.

For years I wanted “gifts”
To blend and inter-mix,
But no way would that work –
It drove me quite berserk.

God’s allergy works fine –
Folks will not to cross that line,
So actions must stay small,
Or happen not at all.

Then “Kingdom-layer” came clear,
And check-out Scripture here,
Gave rise to insight’s force
From Paul (re: Christ – of course!)

If we are unity,
Christ’s “body” helps us be
At one with Him; then task
He does, as one that’s last –

Is where He’ll be involved,
So “Unity” is solved! –
In Christ, as body-part,
There unity can start.

This chapter, mid-way through
Shows us what Christ must do –
Help that reality
Be guide for you and me.

So God gives role to Christ –
“Field Marshall” will suffice;
With body (that is us)
Bring satan down – no fuss.

That’s do it God’s own way,
Per vision held that day
When He created all.
From Him – the one in all.

Lord, Sun Tzu’s comment here
Is certainly quite clear –
God’s warfare through Christ’s acts
Is toughest job – for tacts –

He uses to win out
Are Yours without a doubt;
As we are one in Him
Your ways on earth begin –

To bring the Kingdom-layer
To earth, as in Christ’s prayer;
Grant we great soldiers be
In Christ – as unity.

Thanks Lord for this.
