Poetic Asides/ Poetic Bloomings 4-2 active

 Active

 

Dead people aren’t supposed to be active.

No one told Jesus that.

If they did, He paid them no mind.

 

He had a bit of rebellious streak.

Against hypocrisy

Against the devil and evil

Against starvation and sickness

Against sin and death.

 

But not against God the Father.

He was completely obedient.

He said, “Not my will, but Yours be done.”

 

He went through the torture of the cross

with His eyes on the prize.

To sit at the right hand of the Father.

To be the way to the Father for us

that we may be cleansed and forgiven.

 

When we embrace Him as the way, the truth, the life, we rebel

Against hypocrisy

Against the devil and evil

Against starvation and sickness

Against sin and death.

 

As Paul wrote, “In Him, we live and move and have our being.”

That is how I want to be active.
