If Jesus Came To Your House

If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two – 
If He came unexpectedly, I wonder what you’d do.
Oh, I know you’d give your nicest room to such an honored 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 own 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 off the radio 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 Savior spent a day or two with you,
Would you go right on doing the things you always do?
Would you go right 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 your find it hard each meal to say a table grace?
Would you sing the songs you always sing, and read the books your 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 would you, maybe, change your plans for just a day or so?

Would you be glad to have Him meet your very closest friends?
Or would you hope they’d stay away until His 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 was gone?
It might be interesting to know the things that you would do
If Jesus Christ in person came to spend some time with you.

What things would YOU do or not do if Jesus Christ in person came to spend some time in YOUR home this Summer?

TODAY, ASK YOURSELF: WHAT AM I TO DO NOW TO BE WHAT GOD WANTS ME TO BE?

For several years I have had the premonition that the Supreme Court was going to make a drastic change in the abortion laws in our country. So I wrote THE GATHERING, JESUS and ABORTION, A Story for Our Time. Jesus returns and places himself in the middle of the abortion controversy. In light of the Supreme Court’s decision, many people today are calling for dialogue by people who support various sides of the abortion issue. This is what Jesus teaches and brings about in THE GATHERING. I sincerely feel you will enjoy my book given the abortion climate we are now in. You can get THE GATHERING at Amazon:
