Our Savior’s final statement, as He left this world in
flight,
Was to draw a map of witness for those lost within the
night.
Jesus knew the city of the kings, named for the place of peace,
and set the Grand Commission for man’s personal soul release.
He mentioned first Jerusalem — reach those whose lives are near.
Then Judea and the uttermost, in pursuit of truth that’s clear.
We tend to proceed far in life, so concerned for those still lost,
yet we don’t check the rear-view mirror of God’s love at such a cost.
No matter where you find yourself, as a witness read this poem:
don’t forget your friends and family when you bring Jerusalem home.
