A Pharisee, A Levite – v4

A Pharisee, a Levite

perhaps a Nicodemus

trying to have an open mind

a heart for Jesus

There on the street

but not a pilgrim

a citizen of Jerusalem

working in the Temple

A Pharisee, a Levite

part of the apparatus

the Temple worship, busy

getting ready for the Passover

The ancient rite remembered

a busy time in the city

even without Jesus around

work to do in the Temple

A Pharisee, a Levite

perhaps a Nicodemus

wanting to believe

from within the system

The events unfolding

scripture fulfilled

Jesus revealing

who He truly is.
