God’s Temple – v2


Even in their accusations
failing to understand
his language, parables
more than they could stand

God’s temple, living, before them
the temple of Christ himself
that which would be torn down
raised up in but three days

Speaking to the powerful
in words to them opaque
these who should know the Christ
because they taught the law

His life a witness, a testimony
the proof of his holiness
but to them only a threat
blind to the living God
judgment, the cross, instead
