Joyce L. Shafer Thus speaks Christ our Lord to us: You call me Eternal, then do not seek me. / You call me Fair, then do not love me. / You call me Gracious, then do not trust me. / You call me Just, then do not fear me. / You call me Life, then do not choose me. / You call me Light, then do not see me. / You call me Lord, then do not respect me. / You call me Master, then do not obey me. / You call me Merciful, then do not thank me. / You call me Mighty, then do not honor me. / You call me Noble, then do not serve me. / You call me Rich, then do not ask me. / You call me Savior, then do not praise me. / You call me Shepherd, then do not follow me. / You call me the Way, then do not walk with me. / You call me Wise, then do not heed me. / You call me Son of God, then do not worship me. / When I [sentence] you, then do not blame me. *Carved into a cathedral door in a small town in Germany, translated by Dr. William Welty, and copied from Chuck Missler’s chapter in Blood on the Altar
