Poem inspired by First Thessalonians in the King James Bible
Poem First Thessalonians
In Thessalonica's ancient land,
Apostle Paul took a stand,
His words in First Thessalonians,
guide us through life's many bends.
The coming of the Lord he told,
in verses clear and bold,
A hope for every faithful heart,
in Christ, we're in His fold.
In Chapter one, we see the call,
a life of faith for all,
Turned from idols to serve the living God,
echoing salvation's call.
Chapter two, pure and just, Paul's ministry,
in God we trust,
He labored night and day, preaching the gospel,
as he must.
In Chapter three, Paul's concern, for their faith,
he yearned,
Strengthened by Timothy's report, their love for God,
they returned.
Chapter four, a life that's pleasing,
in every season,
A call to sanctity and love, in Christ,
we find our reason.
Chapter five, the day of the Lord,
like a thief ignored,
But we are children of the light, by faith,
we are restored.
Comfort one another, he implores,
with words of truth and love,
As we wait for Jesus' return,
from heavenly realms above.
In Thessalonica's ancient lore,
Paul's words forever soar,
In First Thessalonians we find,
Christ's love forevermore.
