Discipleship to Jesus...

I appreciated our time in the Park today listening to God and Jesus, & the helper Jesus & the Father sent, through John 14:15-31; John 21:1-14; and the summary statement from Read Scripture, on John's Gospel :

A Picture of discipleship to Jesus -
"His followers will be most effective in the world, when their focus is not on their work as such , but on listening to Jesus' voice, and obeying him when he speaks."
..........

In the wake 
of our take-
in of John,

I will make
con-verse-ache..
vers-ac-tion..

& these, thought
through, have brought
new vision

to me now,
so somehow
before gone,

I pass to 
some of you
this po-om:

..........

So, listening to the voice of Jesus Christ,
& letting him be who instructions give;
his spirit, helper, (once he'd sacrificed
his sep'rate will : to maintain & to live),

will now help a human to have spirit,
& attitude, that mimics Yeshua's
personifying purpose (- you hear it?)
which calls with voices, seven times* the stars

& yet with one voice - sept*-a-phonic'ly,
that's clear & strong with current of a tide,
that's pulled as Moon pulls on the Earth, its sea,
clear as a full-moon, as a rainbow wide,

& speaks into the heart of you and me
(but maybe still through ears - & eyes that see,
& definitely to hearts that truth makes free),
to be a sign of love, that is lovely.

So though I do not see or understand, 
the logic of the moves he calls me to,
when I know it is him, I'll not demand
much more than that I follow those moves through.

A quite queer thing is that his poetry
is not a forcing, more a lilt and woo;
though heaven & earth's "all authority",
is to be given by God (him unto!),

he doesn't make a deal of that when he
tells his disciples to throw out their nets,
& when they do it (reminiscently?),
they're more effective, known. "Lest we forgets!"

*seven times and sept (the prefix for seven) standing for fullness or completeness in the apocalyptic writings, as in the "seven-fold spirit of God" or "the seven spirits of God" (Rev 1:4-5, 3:1, 4:5, 5:6) - think Elisha who asked for three-fold of the spirit that was in Elijah, & Jesus who had received (&/or could give) "the Spirit - without measure"(John 3:34), as the NEXT one after the "Elijah" who was John the Washer(Baptist).
