I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last
day
the words of the grieving sister, believing,
trusting in the words of Jesus
God’s prophesy of life.
But Christ responded further,
claiming life in that moment, the present,
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.
The one who believes in me will live, even though they
die;
and walks in this life believing in me will never die.”
Then He asked her the question,
the one relevant question
the question each one must answer,
before God, “Do you believe?”
I pray to God in this moment,
help me in my unbelief, in my fear,
in my lack of faith, of vision, that I might answer
“Yes, Lord. I believe that you are the Messiah,
the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
This is the challenge of the flesh
of our human eyes, our history, our failing
not seeking, not seeing, not believing
the Son of God, the living Word made flesh.
