Opening the Scriptures – v2

Peeling the layers, the mystery

The risen Lord, walking with them

opening the scriptures, explaining them

clearing the mysteries, the true meaning

the fulfillment, of God’s promise

the Messiah, the Son come to life

His story foretold, in the Law, the Prophets,

the Law made flesh, the Word, the tablets

the commandments lived out

by one righteous man,

a humbled servant, a shepherd

made the sacrificial lamb

the Passover meal,

now a breaking of His body

the shedding of His blood

All of the ancient texts, the prophets

interpreted, made clear

to cause hearts to burn

with awareness, with fire
