GPP 45: Man Ignores His Treasure-Trove

Who is like the Lord Jesus Christ to man?
No mortal mind can grasp His immensity,
For He is God, whose one pregnant breath can
Launch space in its pre-planned propensity!
Its billions of monstrous wonders but serve
Mankind, made in His image, who exist
On speck-earth; all else occurs to preserve
The race, in each brief life-span, to subsist!
All this wondrous expanding universe,
That worldly science but partly understands,
God made, for man to freely safely traverse;
To respond to His love, while each yet stands!
Why does tunnel-minded man God ignore,
His treasure-trove, his own affairs explore?

Promise Made: Psalm 103:8-12 (David sings)—
“The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions [sins] from us.” (NIV) [Brackets added]

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)


“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
