Analysis of Nature of the Son



At many times and many ways,
God had spoken to the prophets;
Them to offer worship and praise,
Written through the scribes and poets.

We are entering the last days,
As spoken to us by His Son;
Appointed the heir of all ways,
Knowing what each of us has done.

For what the Father has unfurled,
To appoint the heir of all things;
Through whom He created the world,
And all the resources it brings.

The radiance of God’s glory,
And exact imprint of nature;
The universe tells His story,
Of making us a new creature.

For by the power of His Word,
By making purification;
Because of sins that have occurred,
Pardons with justification.

He has sat down on the right side,
On the right hand of God on high;
He has never cheated or lied,
He shines glory to magnify.

He has become superior,
To the angels He merited;
And Satan is inferior,
Nothing to be inherited.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
