Jesus’ teachings have astounded the world because they are very contrary to human nature.

When men say “I hate you”
Jesus says, “I love you”
Where men say, “It’s impossible”
Jesus says, “Everything’s possible”
While men say, “I can never forgive you”
Jesus says, “You have been forgiven”
While men say, “I’ll love you if…”
Jesus says, “I love you despite…”
When men say, “you should strike back”
Jesus says, “Turn your other cheek”
While men claim, “I’m innocent”
Jesus says, “…for all have sinned”
While men say, “leave me alone”
Jesus says, “Come to me”
While men say, “subdue your opponents”
Jesus says, “Love your enemies”
While the world says, “Jesus is a myth”
Jesus says, “I am the truth and the life”
While the world claims, “He will come tonight”
Jesus says, “I’ll return like a thief in the night”

    Very well done. I think you should have a lot of people reading this. It just goes to show, if Jesus can do it, so can we. You should definetely show this to people you know and people you don’t because that’s a message for everyone. Excellent stuff!

    Jesus also said treat others as you would want to be treated. That’s the basis for my philosophy and I think we all should make that an important part of our everyday social encounters. I loved this poem very much, great job.
