Doctrines as Reasons for Joy
there’s this person who did a work
and before you know if that work was for you,
you must know and agree with the doctrine
of what He did
if you don’t know what the person did,
you know neither the person
nor if that person
did anything for you
commitment to the imperative
to know the person cannot come
before we know the indicative
of what he got done
since we are children of Abraham
remember that Abraham knew what the seed had to do
Abraham knew that he himself was not going
to bring in the righteousness
one result of election
is submission to the doctrine of righteousness
obtained by Christ for the elect alone
and then imputed by God
the test of the exodus out of the false gospel
is not our testimony that
“we know the person”
the same one the crowd knows
we are not called to a tragic imperative
“to know the person” without knowing which person
the sheep don’t follow the wrong
person taught in the wrong doctrine
i still want to know,
how did a nice man like Jesus
get himself killed
if it was not the offense of his doctrine?
yes, it’s fact He died
but there are many possible options
to explain that fact,
and these doctrines divide
they hated His doctrine
so much they wanted Him dead
but that was a long time ago
and now the person is in all our hearts
and now there is so much more immorality
let’s worry about that
and not be so anxious about
Him being king of our doctrine
you say you merely gather
around a person
you give reasons
why your doctrines are not doctrines
and you thank your god you are not
like those doctrine persons
with great reasons
Jesus the person
faced the Father’s silence
with great tears
for this I was born
it’s the reason I came
to satisfy Our demand
for righteousness
that death because of
Christ’s doctrine
that there will be no justifying
which is not just
we have reasons for our joy
and these doctrines cause us to
judge by the gospel
Christ and Him crucified
