Forever changed,
different
these followers of
Jesus
while Christ
traveled and preached
healed, and walked,
with them
Emmanuel upon the
earth
Empowered by the
Holy Spirit
Christ now risen,
holy once more
a new body, raised
from the dead
breathing upon
them, breath,
Transformed,
reborn
Changed in that
instant
the disciples
reborn,
given power,
authority
charged to go and
spread His Word;
Emboldened to tell
the world
The message of the
Lord
to offer grace and
hope
to all who seek,
who long,
and hunger, and thirst,
all around the
world
