Surprise Visitor

If Jesus Came to Your House

"Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of

the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with

unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of

the Lord, are being transformed into the same image

from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the

Lord." 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NIV)

"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 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 Bibles 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 keep 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 you find it hard each

meal to say a table grace? Would you sing the songs

you always sing and read the books you 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 came in person to spend some time with you."
