Poem - The great Silence

At last the day has come
The day of judgement and weighing 
Nevertheless a doubt would come
I'm doomed if would be judged
God sat on the throne
Ornamented with precious stones
All men of all race
Stood infront, Adam to me

How huge the sea was,
Sea of not waves and water
But of sin, lust and greed
In full form of manhood
Wondered all, what's happening
Some bereaved,  some peaceful
Some yet wondering, what to do next
Mixed emotions could I see.

A huge thundering voice was heard
Corners of the earth, it shook
"Given I each of you a span of life 
To live in the beaitiful earth I created
To tend it, to mend it
To nurture it, to value relations,
To love each other
Come now to weigh your deeds, 
To the judgement throne"

By the score ad-lib and off the cub
Formed groups, unhappy arrogant and with closed fists
Frowning and looking at each other
And to the throne, with resentment
Complaints raised, accusations came of the bar
To the one not to be questioned
Lend me your ears
To one such insurgent group.

"Where was he when they tortured us
Robbed us and raped us
Where was he when we suffered
And when they mocked us and spat on our face
Called us insane, called us illegitimate
Persecuted us and proclaimed us slaves"
This their altercation was
Their discontentment forged higher.

" No right has He to judge us
He sits on the throne above 
And dictates right and wrong
Sits there comfortable to rule us
No harm, no starvation, no poverty
No accusations, no injustice
No problems, no troubles
Still he says I'll judge you?"

Leaders did meet together
Prepare they did a notation
Decide they did to submit it to him
They gathered to fight for their cause

"Let God face our problems
Let God be born in a poor family
Let Him be called fatherless
Let others doubt his legitimacy
Let God suffer starvation
Let him suffer for nothing
Let him be homeless
Let him have no place to sleep
Let others call him insane
Let him be misunderstood
Let people turn against him
Even though he didn't mean any harm.
Let him be called a liar
Even though his intentions were pure
Let him suffer and be tortured
Then has he the right to judge us"

"Then he understands why we sin.
Then he knows our plight
And pardon would he and declare
No judgment be passed."
Yet their hands trembled
Their knees bowed
Their eyes couldn't stand the bright light
That shone from the holy throne

He read the memo.
Then there was a great silence
When He said,
"That was what my Son had to go through"

Dopamine rush

My nourishment comes from doing the will of God who sent me and from finishing His work. Jn:4:34 What is your driving force?  What gives you a dopamine rush?  What gives you energy to move on? For Jesus it was doing the will of the Father, who sent Him and finishing the work He was sent to do. Be it convincing an outcast woman to tell her own city, that she has found the Messiah. Be it healing fever, or blindness, or lameness. Be it sleeping in the open. Do you grade your work for God? Oh! Just because I could only wash the dishes and not give a message today doesn't mean I am not useful for the Kingdom. God doesn't categorise people by the work they do. But He sees the heart with which they do the task given to them. Am I doing it cheerfully? Or is there a list of complaints?

Dear Brother. Rest in peace. This life is small. Yet proved again. But you proved. Living for Christ alone matters. Trying to acquire skill  And to use your well earned medical knowledge For the poor and needy. Your words still ring in my ear. "We are alone there" Brother gone too soon. Leaving behind a legacy. Well done good and faithful servant. Enough is enough. Come back and enter the rest planned for you. In His bosom, the classic smile I can imagine. Your laughter will surely resound in heaven today. There is rejoicing in heaven  For a son has come back home. Fulfilling his Father's will for him Why should earth be gloomy?  For he is home.

What do I mean when I say I'm born again

No one can see the Kingdom of God unless he is born again. Jn:3:3 Born again as told by Jesus to Nicodemus means being born of the baptism of repentance and being born of the Spirit. A new life. A new creation. The old has passed. The new has come.(v5) Born again means believing that the Son of Man, a term Jesus uses for Himself, quoting the prophet Daniel, as for the Messiah, is the only way to eternal life (v15) Born again is believing that the Father God, loved me so much, that He gave His only begotten Son as a sacrifice for my sin, that I may have eternal life (v16) Born again is loving the light more than the darkness. The darkness is normally loved by others. But light I love. It is an about turn. And as I walk, I am willing to be cleansed by the light, as my sins are more exposed and desire to walk continually in the light.

Duality

Come, He replied, and you will see. John:1:39 Preaching from the pulpit is easy. Do you dare to take them home? Not a pre-planned visit. Do you dare to show them your messy bedroom? Do you dare to show them, how you spend your 'me time'? Do you dare to show them how you react at home? You preach about faith from the pulpit. But at home you fret, you are frustrated, you are angry - faithlessness written all over you. You preach about trust from the lectern. But spit words of venom back home. There is worry when small things are upside down. You speak about purity from the rostrum. Whereas your home is filled with unwholesome talk. Your thoughts are as filthy. What you are in the outside, why are you not at home? This is duality. This is hypocrisy. This is what Jesus addressed as white washed tombs. Give me integrity Lord. Make me reflect you, both in the public and at home. Image credit: https://hareesh.org/blog/2016/5/25/the-dangers-of-duality-recognition-sutra-6

His humble dwelling

Jn:1:18 No one has ever seen God, but God the One and only, who is at the Father's side has made Him known. Jesus' sole purpose of life was to make the Father known to the people who forgot Him. Only a bridge could do that. Only God Himself would know Him fully. The Son - who is one with the Father - who is the One and only. He became man, so that we would know God. What a mission? To not consider the consequences as significant. Considering only the goodness of the fact that we who were His enemies would become His children. That is humility. That is love. Fullness of grace and truth as described about Jesus, depicts His diety. His Godhood. Grace only God can show. And Jesus is full of it. Truth -  only God is true. This is God. This Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. Jesus is not a prophet who came from heaven to direct people to God. Nor is He a powerful being from the heavenly realms. He is the Son of God. Who became fully man to reveal God Himsel...

Beat around the bush

Do you want to get well? Jn:5:6 To the specific question that Jesus asked, the invalid is beating around the bush. When He is willing to do a supernatural miracle, the man expresses logicality. Let God do what He is good at. Expect unexpected things from God. Those are not unnatural for Him. That is faith. Believing that God can do anything. Nothing is impossible for Him. He need not walk in human's pathway. He is not limited to man's perspective. He is beyond that. Being His child it is our privilege to wait to expect Him to work that way.

Closed door

John:3:27 No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven. This dictum if we inscribed in our hearts would ease up our lives. John was losing on his followers. His disciples were complaining. But John was sure - I am only here to prepare the way for Him. He is the bridegroom, and the joy of the bride is to join the bridegroom. The bestman is simply glad to stand with him. This is the solution for all forms of jealousy. There is no need to compare your walk with his/hers. No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven. Which means no one can have something which God has taken away from him. Closed doors always lead to paths which are not destined for you. Do not force it open. Open doors lead to paths which God has planned for you. Walk in it. May God open our eyes and equip us to see God's hands in our lives. To see closed doors as God given opportunities to say no as well. Above all has He not promised that He will be with you till the very end...
