I have #overcome the world

I have overcome the world
though you may sorrow
in this moment, these days
when you will not see me.

I am returning to the Father
who loves you, in heaven,
but I will return to bring you
to your heavenly home.

life in the branches

in staying connection with Christ

nothing without connection

dry, for the fire

life in the branches

the living water of Christ

the Spirit flowing through us

from life into life

Come now, let us leave

“Come now, let us leave”,

these prescient words of Jesus

His teaching done, the betrayer run,

His Passion begun.

“Come now, let us leave”,

out into the night of sorrows

darkness closing in

no hope in that tomorrow

the crucifixion to come.

#poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #faith #believe #love #grace #life #Messiah #betrayal #Passion #crucifixion #resurrection #John14

In Christ’s answer to Peter

foretelling the future

the denial of Peter, the Rock,

disowning His Lord and Master

thrice before the cock crows.

In Christ’s answer to Peter

more information, proof,

about His knowledge

knowing in ugly detail

the pain He was to face.

In Christ’s answer to Peter

Christ must have known

the number of lashes

the pain of the spikes,

the thorns in His brow.

In Christ’s answer to Peter

the Passion playing out

just as it was written

just as it was prophesied

from the beginning to end.

An urgent word to love

Christ in His Passion

entering trials, His betrayal,

yet speaking love to us.

An urgent word to love

a new commandment He gave us

to love as He loved us

as He loves us still.

An urgent word to love

spoken by Christ Jesus

while Judas prowled the night

in betrayal, in darkness.

to love as He loves us

In the moment of betrayal

every word urgent

speaking a new commandment

to love as He loves us.

The words of Jesus important

speaking right through us

caught in the moment before death

preaching love to us.

Day became Night

Washing His disciples feet

those clean, unclean,

offering bread, the cup

forces unseen.

Day became night

the night of His betrayal

the Betrayer into that night

stalking off to the Temple.

And it was night

And it was night,

of course, in darkness

the betrayer on the move

as soon as Judas

had taken the bread,

he went out,

and emptiness fell

upon that night.

“Go, go quickly”,

these burning words of Jesus

stinging in his ears

repeating, repeating,

entering the temple courts,

in secret, in darkness,

gone into the night

Christ’s Passion begun.

child of Satan;

Go into the night

darkness prowling.

Go, go quickly

now, this instant;

Go into the night

My Passion comes.

Now the Son of Man is glorified

Now the Son of Man in glorified

in the steps now set in motion

the Passion has begun

my time has come.

God is glorified

in the sacrifice, obedience,

all that had been prophesied

coming to pass.

Let the Father be #Glorified

Let the Father be Glorified

by the Son Crucified;

Let the world stand convicted,

corrupt in its sin, in shame.

Let the Father be Glorified

by the Son Crucified;

May the world know love,

in His sacrifice, grace,

I have overcome the world
though you may sorrow
in this moment, these days
when you will not see me.

I am returning to the Father
who loves you, in heaven,
but I will return to bring you
to your heavenly home.
