A Case for Christ

Why is Christ so compelling?Because nobody is keeping the law.We appeal to the law all the time When things go really bad.We insist that THOSE people are wrongAnd that we need to get back to moral absolutes.But that’s not what we really meanOr what we really want.And when we look close enough, We discover that our choices beguile us.We, each of us, have swallowed the culture’s poison.We all are dead or dying by degreesUnless we’re not. And there is the very case for Christ - In the fact that some of those Who do no measure upAre actually alive,Alive to His very voiceThat whispers out of darkness unto life.And you know them when you meet them.They are those who have found a King Unseen.They are those who wait and listen and obeyTo spite their imperfection.
