To
love Jesus, to love Him
to
really love His ministry, His message
We
need to see Him, as He was,
as
He was seen in the world
in
His travels in the land
To
see Him as homeless,
wandering
untethered,
outside
the law,
claiming
deity, fulfillment
Speaking
in paradox, in parable
messianic
and servant
pauper
and king
To
see Him as holy, divine,
to
see Him as man, as carpenter,
as
teacher, as prophet, as God
complicated
beyond our comprehension,
as
the One God Incarnate, alive
To
see Him as human
as
at the moment in Temple,
tipping
the tables of the money-changers,
the
moments, the many times,
reflection,
centering, time away,
up
on the mountain, by the sea,
communing
with God
To
worship our brother, our Savior, our King
we
must spent time with Him, in His service
being
His hands, His feet,
His
pen, writing His words,
to
be His voice, in the world
To
share Christ in the marketplace of ideas
spreading
justice, His message, His love
reaching
out to our brothers, our sisters,
all
around this earth,
all
of us struggling, hoping
longing
for the day, that glorious day
of
His coming again
