after “Chris’s piece”...

Txt2PW: Check out John chapter 20:19-31 for context:
..........       ..........       ..........
“Chris’s piece-” 

Jesus gave the air of comfort to his disciples, who were trying to trace his steps,
but at the time, they were trusting him less.
He was found to be amongst them, and he said,"peace be with you."And peace they got.
Suddenly, they were a much happier lot.
"Forgiving sins, those mistakes you all make, is good for you,
And the person you'd sue.
Or, maybe they'd sue you too.
But, make that effort to tell them out loud.
Maybe, do it in private,
you'll feel much less proud."
So, help us please lord,
To all get along,
Give  us wisdom to live,
And join in with your song.

after “Chris’s piece-”...

Then Jesus brought his peace into that place
of fear, and death, & torture, where they were.
That “shallom” peace of “thriving” on his face,
and in his breath his spirit he confired.

And while he did not hide his suffering,
it wasn't quite “The End” of how things went,
in fact this new beginning (buffering)
was coming soon, to “Centre Stage” “hell-bent”.

His own disciples, tracing where he stepped, 
might well 've been scared of what all that meant.
He didn't put them down a peg, but kept
the pressure on, they would go where he went.

Now they would be baptised with his baptism,
and have that same anointing that he had.
Forgive the sins of people (who risen,
need feed), then care for them as mum or dad.

And he was found amongst them, and they got
the pow'r of God, within community
embodied in himself, & then that lot
(he’d prayed to God “Forgive them, they don’t see...”

- but then he’d given them the gift before
their very eyes & ears, they’d know, if they
we're int’rested in love, deeper than law.
Some Teachers of the Law still got away.)

But these of Yeshua, his “dear children”*
he gave from Hea’en above resources to
continue on his mission, with wisdom,
God’s very nature. He said that would do!
