Angry about Rejection – v4

The disciples angry

at the lack of welcome;

The Samaritan’s response

to their request for a place of rest.

And yet their anger

at such a small thing,

at the very moment

Christ turned to Jerusalem.

His sacrifice, His submission,

compared with their anger;

How stark the contrast

what they felt that day.

Petty problems

growing too large;

When our focus, our goal,

is turned away from Christ.
