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 own 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 Bible 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 Saviour 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 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 Christ in person came to spend some time
with
you.
