I know he will rise again in the #resurrection at the last day


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.
