~precious Few~ Poem by James Lagoski

~Precious Few~

If Jesus came to earth as he did once before
What kind of fate would he have in store
I think he’d have a hard time convincing anyone
That God is his father and he's his favorite son

Would we say he was crazy and deem him insane
If he looked completely normal and mortally plain
And what of those who believed in all that he said
Would we also think they aren’t right in the head

I think we’d arrest, segregate and convict him
Put him into the system and make him a victim
If he swore under oath he was telling the truth
Would anyone believe him without any proof

If he could offer nothing more than his word
Would you personally believe or think him absurd
May be that’s the reason he wouldn’t visit again
There's very few people who would trust in him

So have faith in things that you can not see
Someday it might help out all humanity
For even if there was only a precious few
Wouldn’t it be nice if one of them was you

When I wrote this piece, my whole thought was this.
Years ago when Jesus existed here as a mortal, he could do
things at the time that was considered to be miracles.
Yet even back then there were many who did not have belief
in who he was. How hard would it be for him,
with our modern science and technology, to convince
anyone today of his identity. So please ask yourself this.
Would you truly and honestly believe in him completely
without a shred of doubt at all- Could You-
