Runaway

RUNAWAY

 

Yes, he failed

Yes, he was guilty

Yes, he was not true to his words

Yes, he cursed

Yes, he rejected the Lord

 

But his failure did not define him

Nor his guilt to cripple his purpose

His mouth didn’t disqualify his calling

Whatever setbacks he had

It’s Jesus who pulled him up

 

Did you see him

From a runaway fearful disciple

To a strong decisive leader

He stood for everyone

To complete whatever is missing

 

So, let’s not judge anyone

For each one of us is subject to fail

It may not be today

But it will surely come one day

So, before we conclude let’s consider first

 

Everyone deserves a second chance

This is what grace is all about

If we know what it is

Then let us forgive

This is what Christianity really is

Acts 1:15-20

15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,) 16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. 17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. 18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. 19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. 20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
