coming in communion with scripture
drinking these words of Jesus
dripping from His lips,
prayed over the disciples
sensing the tension, the fear,
in the upper room...
sharing of the cup
eating of the bread
falling down in worship
in cleaving to Christ’s command
to love as He loved us,
walking humbly in the world...
 
dipping our bodies, our souls,
into these living waters,
pausing to breathe deeply
of the promises in His words,
the command to love one another
to abide in Christ’s love
offered in these words
but more by His example,
His choice to climb the cross...
Being prepared to see our neighbor
our brothers and sisters as worthy
of our love, our very lives...
