If Jesus came to your house, to spend a day or two,
If He came unexpected, I wonder what you’d do.
Oh, I know you’d give your nicest room to such an honoured guest,
And all the food you’d serve to Him would be the very best.
And you would keep assuring Him you’re glad to have Him there,
That serving Him in your home is joy beyond compare.
But when you saw Him coming would you meet Him at the door
With arms outstretched in welcome to your heavenly visitor?
Or would you have to change your clothes before you let Him in,
Or hide some magazines and put the Bible where they’d been?
Would you turn the television off and hope He hadn’t heard,
And wish you hadn’t uttered that last, loud, hasty word?
Would you hide your worldly music and put some hymn books out?
Could you let Jesus walk right in or would you rush about?
And I wonder if the Saviour spent a day or two with you,
Would you go on doing the things you always do?
Would you go on saying the things you always say?
Would life for you continue as it does from day to day?
Would your family conversation keep up its usual pace,
And would you find it hard each meal to say table grace?
Would you sing the songs you always sing and read the books you read
And let Him know the things on which your mind and spirit feed?
Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you’d planned to go,
Or maybe would you change your plans for just a day or so?
Would you be glad to have Him meet your very closest friends,
Or hope that they would stay away, until your visit ends?
Would you be glad to have Him stay forever on and on,
Or would you sigh with great relief when He at last had gone?
It might be interesting to know the things that you would do,
If Jesus came in person to spend some time with you.
Thank you for the poem! I actually think about that a lot and try to keep things acceptable in his sight. A while ago though, i had a powerful dream, long story, but there was written prayers, and much tears and seeking and other people praying for me. It was sort of like pushing hard through the crowds to get to him, like the blind guys crying out "Son of David!" I hesitate to say "Jesus" came to my house, but it was him or a messenger, an Angel, the Holy Spirit, i did see this being as a man, someone i never saw before 5'6", brown hair, but just for an instant because everything and everyone was in him. He could change form into my sister, or anyone he wanted. Its hard to explain. Basically , when Jesus came in, i was fearing some punishment and i fell back a bit when i opened the door, but to my relief, in walks this guy, he KNEW me, intimately, and loved me. He was utterly radiating power, and virtue, and he was a Lamb. A lamb of a man. ZERO malice, guile, lies, fear, hypocrasy, he joyfully and triumphantly loved me and was glad to save me. I cant even explain it, but, I fell down before him. Like Daniel, all my comeliness became garbage. We often compare ourselves to each other, but when compared with the Angel of the Lord, even the most righteous man falls down at his feet, no strength, weeping. The dream went on and other ghings i saw i wont say, but after that, i had this powerful joy , like i could love and die for my enemies and triumph over it all through him. I was a wretch, and humbled, but at the same time, FILLED with joy, because he loved me anyway. And when i was in his presence, i had no desire to sin. No desire for anything. No fear or worry, no lack, because He has everything. What can a person lack when they have Him who can do anything? What can a person fear when they have Him who has ALL power by their side?
So everyone here commenting is right, definately good to purify ones self, and be found living a holy and blameless life, and definately doesnt matter how good you are, we all fall short and we all fall down and worship the KING of the saints, the KING of all righteous and holy men and women! He is the sweetest man, the sweetest lamb of a gentle man, and he is God! The visible image of the invisible God. Halleluja!
