He Who Has the Son

 

 

 

He who has the Son has all

There is nothing more he needs,

All that one needs is in the Son

And the Son satisfies indeed.

 

He who has not the Son has nothing

He has nothing that he needs,

He may be rich in this world’s goods

But is still very poor indeed.

 

Some may think that they are rich

But the Bible says they are poor,

These are they who are without Christ

They are dissatisfied the more.

 

 

Some are clothed in costly attire

But the Bible describes them as naked,

Like those in the Laodicean church

Just like the Bible stated.

 

Some believe they have no lack

On account of their tremendous wealth,

But when they are drawing their dying breath

It does nothing for their health.

 

There is nothing that a person has

That is as beneficial as the Son of God,

Neither wealth nor friends nor family

Nothing at home or abroad.

 

Some have an abundance of knowledge

Numerous skillsets and expertise

But without the lifegiving Son of God,

They can only pretend to be at ease.

 

He who has the son has assurance

In this life and the life to come,

That is where our real wealth will be

When the wealth of earth is done.

 

He who has the Son has freedom

The freedom of the saved,

The freedom that makes a better now

That motivates people to behave.

 

 

He who has the Son has a hope

In the promise of eternal life

With all the saints and Jesus Christ

At the end of this earthly strife.

 

He who has the Son takes all

A package of infinite proportions,

Bequeathed to all of the born-again

The measure of God’s salvation.

 

He who has the Son becomes one

A son of the Heavenly Father,

An heir and joint heir with Jesus Christ

And a glorious life in the hereafter.
