In the Crowd - series of poems
With some of the poems posted today, I have started a series with the subtitle, (In the Crowd). The Alive Now devotional had asked on Pentecost, what we would have seen as a member of the crowd. That got me thinking about what other stories might fit that model. Even many parts of the Book of John are written by the observer, such as the Baptism story. Many of the stories in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and, especially, in the New Testament, are stories about the impact of God or Christ on a multitude, a gathering, a mob, or a crowd. So, with the Spirit's help, I'm going to explore that idea. What would a member of the crowd have felt, whether a believer or not, or maybe in the difference between observers. I'll just have to see how it plays out...
