A POEM ON THE BOOKS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
Posted: Sun Dec 05, 2010 5:22 pmMatthew, Mark, Luke & John tell of Christ-His life they trace.
Acts shows the Holy Spirit's work,
and Romans-how we're saved by grace.
Corinthians instructs the church,
Galatians shows God's grace alone.
Ephesians, how we are "in Christ",
Philippians, Christ's joys made known.
Colossians portrays Christ exhalted.
And Thessalonians tells the end.
In Timothy and Titus both, are rules for pastors to attend.
Philemon pictures charity,
Thirteen epistles penned by Paul.
The Jewish law prefigured Christ,
And Hebrews clearly shows it all.
James shows that faith by works must live,
and Peter urges steadfastness.
While John exhorts to Christian love,
and those who live it, God will bless.
Jude shows the end of evil men,
While Revelation tells of heaven.
These end the whole New Testament,
In all, they number 27.
