#Woe to all of us – v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #Matthew23 #hypocrisy #blindness

Woe to all of us,
who are blind to Christ,
The truth of His life
The truth of His love
His choice to come,
His choice to sacrifice...
 
Woe to all of us,
who have eyes but fail to see
The Messiah, our Savior,
entered time...
He laid down His life,
to save you and me...
 
Woe to all of us,
straying from the path,
blind to our choices,
when we stumble...
Turning our backs on Jesus
going another way...

#Tithing their #spices – v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #Matthew23 #hypocrisy #blindness #condemnation

Their hypocrisy exposed
in these harsh words of Jesus
Tithing their spices
but failing to do justice,
Worrying about the trivial
but neglecting mercy,
Failing to be obedient,
to walk humbly with God...
 
Layer on layer of judgment,
the blind leading the blind
to death, to damnation,
False leaders straining out gnats
but consuming camels...
No room any longer for mercy
for these enemies of Jesus
Only condemnation...

#Christ #tore the #skin from their #flesh – v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #Matthew23 #hypocrisy #blindness #condemnation

“You shut the gates of heaven...”
“You do not enter in and
You deny others entry...”
A death sentence for hypocrites
barring others from salvation
through their false teachings
failing to see Christ before them -
Blind to their hypocrisy -
their denying of others....
Holding on to their Law,
but failing humanity...
 
Hear the terror of Jesus...
these words of utter condemnation
judging these false teachers,
leading sheep from the shepherd
to death, to destruction...
Christ tore the skin from their flesh
because he knew their hearts
shattering the lie of their lives
condemning them to death
to eternal damnation
for the choices they made...

Claiming a page from His history,

fulfilling ancient prophecy
claiming His sovereignty...
 
The triumphal entrance
of our Lord, to reign, in victory,
riding on a humble donkey,
our humble Servant King...
 
Son of Solomon, Son of David,
Son of Man, Son of God,
entering Jerusalem as a King
to shouts of “Hosanna!”...
 
A week like no other
fulfilling divine purpose
come to save us, to heal,
come to be our sacrifice...
 
Riding on a humble donkey
our King of life, of glory,
come to shouts of “Hosanna!”...
before the cries, “Crucify!”...

I’m already home
 
Ukrainian phrase:
“Я вже вдома”,
Which means both, “I am already home” and
“I am home already”.
and Ephesians 2:4:7
“4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.”

Lift the veil
raise the curtain
the scales from my eyes...
Redeem me, Lord...
Heal my vision...
Give me sight...
 
Show me the truth
show me wisdom
in ancient scripture...
Reveal Yourself
in the Word
in my heart...
 
Heal me, Lord,
remove my blindness
Renew my faith...
Give me vision
enable me to see
Your abounding grace...
 
Remove the scales,
my blindness from me...
Redeem my sight
the truth within me
Lead me to You,
to Your grace...

the #eyes of #Hosea #Poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #Matthew20 #blindness #sight #healing #mercy #Emmaus #Messiah #scripture #eyes #truth #flesh #world

a knowing sorrow in that moment
seeing so clearly his pain
the grief of expectation
heartbreak of relief
after years of bitter anguish
a healing of the breach...
 
a truth in revelation,
knowing the pain of those years
written in the eyes of Hosea
so stark, so plain the epiphany
the sorrow of that moment,
remembered to this day...

#Eyes of #Emmaus #Poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #Matthew20 #blindness #sight #healing #mercy #Emmaus #Messiah #scripture

Christ’s words to them
revealing the reality of Jesus
alive after resurrection
in the opening of Your Word -
Your holy scripture -
In the breaking of the bread,
in Christ’s words of prayer...
 
Eyes of Emmaus
of the disciples changing
knitting what Christ had said
An epiphany at their dinner table -
Their hearts ablaze in love
in the gift of revelation
on the road home...
