Opening the Scriptures – v2

Peeling the layers, the mystery
The risen Lord, walking with them
opening the scriptures, explaining them
clearing the mysteries, the true meaning
the fulfillment, of God’s promise
the Messiah, the Son come to life
His story foretold, in the Law, the Prophets,
the Law made flesh, the Word, the tablets
the commandments lived out
by one righteous man,
a humbled servant, a shepherd
made the sacrificial lamb
the Passover meal,
now a breaking of His body
the shedding of His blood
All of the ancient texts, the prophets
interpreted, made clear
to cause hearts to burn
with awareness, with fire
