Within the Congregation

Before the people
this community
these neighbors
within the congregation
sharing the truth about his call

Shock and condemnation
denial of his identity
driven from the town
out of the community

The Messiah, redeemer
the Christ-child now a man
beginning his ministry
out in the land
away from his home
outside the congregation
