Taking Cues From The Greatest Of All Teachers
Raise a carpenter's glass
To Jesus Christ.
His beautiful humbled nature
And compassionate ideals.
When people come
To my humble home
They wonder why
It is so minimalistic.
I tell them, that is the way
Jesus lived, and that is
The way I want to live.
As a sign of respect.
I work the soup kitchens
And homeless shelters.
I pass out the condoms
And mediate the fights.
I know I will never
Make the blind see
I will never cure hunger.
But I will do my best
To cure the world of it’s ills.
And follow in the footsteps of Christ:
The Greatest Teacher of all.

I also just want to say that you should live like jesus thats the way to live it say's in his word that we should live the way he lived and do the things he did. Becuase when he died on the cross for our sin's he gave us the authority and chance to live, do and have the thing s he had and since we also are children of God through jesus christ when he gave us that chance when he died on the cross for us and our sin's. So I want to tell you now if you have the right amount of faith and belivef in God you can make the blind see and cure the hunger and cure the illnesses of this world only with God you will be able to do these thing's by him using you to be his light in this world.
P.S. don't forgot you have the authority to use his almighty name jesus christ to do anything to complete his will on this earth just like in heaven. -

This is short and meaningful. It carries great emotion in an easy flow style that captures the reader's attention from the start. This is composed with passion, compassion and love...a deadly combination that says so much within so few words, yet the message rises above the words and is patently clear.
