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.
