The Last Day Poem by Marieta Maglas

The last day you see
the sun is not an illusion,
It's your last day.

Most people do not even know
about their last day,
But you know it.
This day you will die.
Most people do not know
about their death,
But you know it.

So many people walk around
with a meaningless life and
many people use religion
as a means of quieting their fear of death.
The Lord had mercy on you,
The Lord has told you what is good.
Once you had no identity,
Now you are God's child.
God has mercy on whomever he chooses.
He chose you this way.


Many people are sinners
And many people die without
getting past this point.
The Bible teaches that a
ll people have sinned - except Jesus.


Jesus Christ died on the cross for sinners.
You can also believe in being baptized
to show obedience,
To take upon you the name of Christ
And to become a member of His Church.
You can go to Heaven
Pure as a white lily.
You still can go to Heaven.
Try to understand what happened to you.
Try to understand your reasons for
doing what you did
And the reason why
the Son of God took a human form.
Christ loved you and gave himself as
a sacrifice to take away your sins.
'Turn away from your sins and live.'

For you have been called to live in freedom,
Don't choose the freedom to satisfy
your sinful nature,
But the freedom to serve one another in love.

It is your last day
Don't be blind this day.
Don't eat anything.
Give your meal to others.
It's a day of prayers
As Christchurch mourns its dead.

Choose eternal life.
