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” “Hea’en sent”.
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, for they'd 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- then, risen,
would feed and 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!
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 2 Peter 1:3-4 NIVUK
