What if?

to my non-Christian friends,
esp Cody, Sin Yee, Amanda and Joe Den..

to all those who have laughed at my faith
those who have joked about my Jesus
to all the Muslim friends and neighbours
who tell me im "sesat" (lost)

to all my friends who said :
When a person talks to God, he is religious,
when God talks to a person, he is crazy..

to all my atheist and agnostic friends..
to all my friends and teacher
who have the bible,
and think of it as just another nice book..

to my teacher who is a buddhist, Mr Tan,
to my hindu teachers..
to my friends who hold on to Confucius teachings..
my buddhist friends who are content with where they are..

This is for u..

What if you’re right?
And He was just another nice guy
What if you’re right?
What if it’s true?
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it’s true?

What if He takes his palace in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?

But what if you’re wrong?
What if there’s more?
What if there’s hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He’s more than enough?
What if it’s love?

What if you dig, What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig?
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions inside
That’s all you find

What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more
Then folklore that must be told and retold

You’ve been running as fast as you can
You’ve been looking for a place you can land so long
But what if you’re wrong?

What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He’s more than enough?

What if it’s love?
(What if - Nichole Nordeman)

My dear friends,
what if you are right?
What if Jesus really is a "superstar"
what if He isnt the son of God?
what if all He did was a folklore..
what is to become of a man when he dies?
what is to become of hope and faith?
what if you are right?

what if Jesus wasnt really God..
what if He was crazy Himself,
dying for nothing..
Deluding and cheating Himself?

what happens?
what happens now?

what happens when the walls come crumbling in?
what happens when ur "wall" fails to protect u?
what happens when the very thing u put ur trust in
comes back to haunt u?

What then?

but, maybe.
just maybe.
what if u are wrong?
what if there is really this Hope,
this Love,
this God..
whom u can trust?
whom u can turn to?
whom u can look for?

why do u dwell on the surface?
why do u look for answers in all the wrong places?
when the answer, is right there?
under ur nose?
right there..
in reach..
so close..
yet so far?

what are the odds?

my friends,
call me a fool..
call me crazy..
itz my pleasure,
to be called a fool for His name..

u see,
i dont just
love the "Big Guy"
i owe all i am to Him..

call me nutz,
i dun mind,

but please,
please,
if you are reading this,
whoever you are
if you are reading this..

Please,
i beg u,
please..

Come to know this Man,
this God,
for who He is..

He so WILLINGLY,
gave up His life,
just so that you and i
wont have to die for our sins..
that there is a Way to heaven now..

no need for good works..
no need for ceremonial jumbo..
no need for penance..
no need for chastisement..

dont u want this God?
dont u want this "way out"?
knowing that WHATEVER you do,
there IS forgiveness?

why oh why
do you choose the road,
with holes
and roadblocks all over?

why not choose redemption?
why not choose salvation?
why not choose Love?
why not choose Hope?

why?

what if,
just maybe,
He is the Only Way?

would you believe?

ask yourself this question..
what if im wrong?
what if i have been avoiding this so-called God?
what if i have been looking from the wrong angle?

i have been asking myself this question..
and i find the answer,
in Jesus..

come,
trust in the Lord..

signing off with tears,
MarcusDS
