Analysis of Resurrection Guarantee



Christ has been raised from the dead,
The first fruits that fell asleep;
A resurrection being fed,
For followers of His sheep.

For as by a man came death,
Man resurrected from the dead;
Given new life and new breath,
Awaken out of his bed.

For as in Adam all die,
Through Christ be made alive;
From earth will be saying bye,
Unto Heaven will arrive.

But each in his own order,
Christ is being the first fruit;
Will be passing the border,
Paying the Lord a tribute.

Then comes the end of the earth,
And delivers the Kingdom;
Now gone to allow new birth,
The Father uses wisdom.

Authority and power,
Putting foes under His feet;
Although not knowing what hour,
The last foe will have defeat.

God puts all in subjection,
Under His feet a footstool;
If they have a rejection,
To God and His golden rule.

When all things have been subdued,
Then the Son is subjected;
Reign of His kingdom be ruled,
His followers adopted.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
