Final Exams – v3

Let’s see, what were those courses,
in our seminary this semester;
Oh yeah, they were -
Betrayal, abandonment, death,
and Christ’s resurrection.

At the end of three years,
following the Master,
this was the sprint to the finals,
our moments of confusion, of not feeling worthy
of running away, of waiting at the cross,
fearing after Friday, of hunkering down
only to feel the joy of Sunday,
of that first Fourth Day.

Out beyond the grave
with the Spirit coming
to give us power
new-born Christians
about to embark on the Way.
