Fired, Alive

the glaze burned on
into the earthen vessel
fired, alive
marking the clay
the blood of his sacrifice
burgundy, crimson
seared into the flesh
this cup of our communion

The stain of the blood
about the ring of burgundy, crimson
glaze below the rim of the new cup

Different, Restored
about the new cup
and our being changed
by the blood of Christ

a broken cup
edited April 7, 2014
the cup was broken before worship yesterday, the juice was spilled, the cloth was thrown away but was gathered from the trash this morning. They and the crown of thorns together speak of how God can make something beautiful from the brokenness through the sacrifice of Christ.

I was sitting doing my bible study when I just felt compelling to go to the church and photograph the crown of thorns with the broken cup and cloth filled with spilled grape juice from before worship yesterday. So blessed that God is able to make something so beautiful from our brokenness, through the sacrifice of Christ. — with Pastor Ruth Foss at Stetson Memorial United Methodist Church.
