"If Jesus Came"

 Would you have to change your clothes. Before you let Him in?

Or hide away some worldly magazines, And put the Bibles where they'd been?
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 you take Jesus with you, Every where you go?
Or would you maybe change your plans, For just a day or so?
Would you be glad to have Him, Meet your 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 relief, When He at last was gone?
It might be interesting to know, The things that you would do,
If Jesus came in person, to spend some time with you.

This is a really cute poem - I do have a small issue with it though because - in Galatians 2:20 every Christian should be able to say -

     "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me."

Consider for just a moment today - that it isn't "if" Jesus came today. you see -

For the Believer HE has.     For the Believer HE is alive in you.

Don't wonder what you would do if Jesus where standing beside you or if He would show up, for those of you who are Believers - He is already looking from the inside out!

Let the fact that your life should be lived IN CHRIST be the thing that helps you live your life to HIS standard - not the worlds - not someone else's.

If the Christ lives in you -

.   You won't have to worry about freedoms and non-essentials because you will live to, by, in and through Jesus.
.    You won't worry about a law because the law falls short of a Christ directed life
.    You won't fear men because you will be living right.
.    You won't be a hypocrite - saying one thing and living another.
.    You also won't be worried about conflict - although it will happen, you will know that you stand for what is good and right and the very truth of the Gospel.

 When you surrender to Christ - fully surrender - there will be a complete change - for it is no longer you that lives but Christ in you. and there is no man made law that can stand against that. and you won't be living your life by what the world calls a hypocrite and you wont worry about "IF JESUS CAME..."
