What Will You Do with Jesus?

A. B. Simpson asks a very important question.  The question is simple, yet profound.  It is one that everyone must answer.  Those who say differently answer all the same.  The question is, "What will you do with Jesus?"  So if you have not accepted Him as Savior I challenge you to do so.  If you you have accepted Him as Savior, then I ask what keeps you from accepting His as LORD and King?  However, no matter where you stand right now regarding this question, read the poem and contemplate what kind of relationship you have with Jesus and decide today what you will do with Him.  Everything hangs in the balance.  If you need a different place to go during this season of lent I recommend going to the prayer garden at Canaan in the Desert (http://www.canaaninthedesert.com/).  It is a wonderful place for prayer and is where the picture was taken.

What Will You Do with Jesus?

Jesus is Standing in Pilate's hall,
Friendless, forsaken, betrayed by all;
Hearken! what meaneth the sudden call?
What will you do with Jesus?

What will you do with Jesus?
Neutral you cannot be;
Some day your heart will be asking,
"What will He do with me?"

Jesus is standing on trial still,
You can be false to Him if you will,
You can be faithful through good or ill:
What will you do with Jesus?

Will you evade him as Pilate tried?
Or will you choose Him, whate'er betide?
Vainly you struggle from Him to hide:
What will you do with Jesus?

Will you, like Peter, your Lord deny?
Or will you scorn from His foes to fly,
Daring for Jesus to live or die?
What will you do with Jesus?

"Jesus, I give Thee my heart today!
Jesus, I'll follow Thee all the way,
Gladly obeying Thee!" will you say:
"This I will do with Jesus!"
