The Devil was present with them
in the upper room
as Jesus washed their feet
as His hour had come...
 
Jesus gave the Devil permission
for Satan to enter Judas...
Christ set the night in motion,
saying he may leave...
 
Christ knew the deception,
The bargain that Judas entered...
Satan entered Judas,
and it was night...

the shadow of Satan – v2
 
Based on John 13:27
Based on John 13:2
Based on John 13:21-30
Based on John 13
Based on Job 1:12
Based on Job 2:6
In Job, the Devil gets permission from God to go after Job. In John 13,
we see Satan is given permission to enter Judas from Jesus.
That means Satan was somehow present in the upper room in the events
of John 13 (and presumably the whole of the last supper).

Weight, power in these words,
Christ’s urgent message
in the Upper Room...
 
Truly, Truly,
more than for emphasis,
a prayer, a pledge,
a message for all of us...
 
An oath repeated
a promise of God
there in the upper room
as darkness had come...
 
Truly, Truly,
Christ’s repetition,
a mark on the power
what was to come...

bragging he would be first

pride before the Fall,
his denial, his betrayal,

The stain of their blood – v2 #Ukraine #America

I can see the scene unfolding…
hushed in the praetorium, the palace,
symbolically preparing to absolve himself,
to say our nation is not complicit…
taking off his clean navy blazer
an aide gathering a basin of water,
taking off his golden cufflinks, meticulously
rolling up his starched white sleeves…
 
Two accursed men standing there,
Barabbas and Jesus, different actors,
nation-states, now, in this moment,
in the crucible of terror, of war,
standing in judgement of the Empire,
its Proconsul at the water basin…
 
Dipping his hands in the waters,
a Christian passing judgement, no neutrality,
choosing sides in genocide, in terror,
murmuring a lie, a prayer, a confession,
saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood,”
giving the crowd Barabbas/Russia,
sending Jesus/Ukraine to the cross,
for our indifference, the sins of all of us…
 
But no amount of water, no words,
will absolve him of the verdict,
history will judge him eternally,
he and his master, his dear leader,
as he steps away from responsibility,
as he sacrifices innocent blood…
 
Two men in the battle, good and evil,
two nation-states in the crucible,
Cain and Abel, evil and innocent victim,
evil chosen for craven expediency,
the attention span of the moment,
washing his hands eternally,
but he will forever bear the stain,
the curse of innocent blood…

When the Amygdala gets the upper hand – v2

I feel myself turning,
changing in an instant,
fear, anxiety rising,
ready to overflow…
 
A life in words, in work,
now manual labor, sweating,
not knowing if this is my place,
where I should be standing…
 
I sense the rise of panic,
unsure of my next steps,
anxious moments evident,
in the sweat on my forehead…

When the #Amygdala gets the upper hand

I feel myself turning,
Changing in an instant,
Fear, anxiety rise,
Ready to overflow…
 
A life in words, in work,
Now manual labor,
Not knowing if this is my place,
Where I should be standing…
 
I sense the rise of panic,
Unsure of my next steps,
Anxious moments evident,
In the sweat on my brow…

Jesus served His betrayer – v2

Christ offered His body,
His blood for us;
Jesus became the Servant,
Jesus washed their feet
all the disciples, all twelve.
 
Jesus offered His body,
His blood for us;
Jesus served His betrayer,
the one who would deny him,
all who ran away.
 
Christ offered His body,
His blood for us;
He laid down His life,
He climbed our cross,
to offer salvation to us.
