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"

Why? - a short story

I have always been obedient to my father. Though sometimes it sounded illogical. Of late his demands are more irrational. I have seen him spending time praying. But now he is different. He travels around Judea and sometimes even to Israel to listen to this man Jesus. Some say He is a rebel. Some say He is the son of God the Messiah. I don't know. I haven't been religious. I like this part of the Ten Commandments which says if you want a long life, then honour your father and mother.  Ever since my mother passed away, my father had been lonely. They were in love. Never have I seen anyone love like this, even the newly weds. He had been gloomy for the past ten years. But now there is a smile in his face. He spends time in his room often, praying. Other times he is out to listen to this man. But there is joy in his face, that I know.  Today why did he ask me to go and collect water from the town? No idea. There are slave girls to do that. There is plenty of water here...

Inclusive

Tell His disciples including Peter - Mk:16:7 The very one who denied and swore against knowing Him. The very one who rebuked Jesus not to have plans to die. The very one who was impulsive in every way, but fell away in the time of need. The very Peter. Including Peter, you tell what all you saw. Especially to Peter. A bruised reed He will not break. A repentant heart He will not push away. But include Him in His plan of redemption and restoration. David, Elijah, Peter, Paul are examples. Where as on the other side stands King Saul, Judas Iscariot. Sin is not a stumbling block for you to be included in God's plan, while you are given a second chance. But unrepentance and nonrestoration is. God has amazing plans for you. Lest you should squander it or thwart it, repent and return.

The Lord's servant - a poem

I am the Lord's servant. May everything you have said about me come true. Lk:1:38 It is easy to accept His will, when it's cordial When it's a blessing in our terms. But will it be possible to thank Him, When it is confusing and disturbing? Elizabeth, old as she is would be ome pregnant. The Lord is kind; she exclaims. Mary, a virgin is pregnant six months later. I am the Lord's servant; she accepts. After years of prayer, Elizabeth is blessed. All rejoice with her. All praise God for her. But Mary is all alone. She is cursed when she accepts His will. A virgin getting pregnant, can that be God's will? Someone greater than the greatest is being formed. In her womb, through all her pains. Through all the loneliness and difficulties She alone had to go through. Yet she accepted. Would you accept pain and ridicule. The same way you accept blessings from God. For through this, Christ is being formed in you  Painful, but worth it. Consider it pure joy, dear b...

Humble

Scattered the proud - exalted the humble. Lk:1:51-52 The lowly He raises. The downtrodden He uplifts. The poor He makes him sit on lofty places. He is pro -poor. Not only monetarily. If you are poor in the Spirit, the Kingdom of heaven is yours is the promise. He is compassionate to the one who suffers. He is on the side of those who have no help. Unlike the proud and the rich and the affluent and the arrogant who has their influences and resources to help them( yet in vain). Therefore humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He shall lift you up in the right time.  Whether you have it or not, bring yourself low before the Almighty.

Pressed down Shaken together

Your gift will return to you full, pressed down, shaken together to make more room, running over and poured into your lap. Luke:6:38 Many a times this verse is misinterpreted for giving, more precisely speaking, about money. But aren't we completely misguided? Jesus has not been talking about money at all here. It is about forgiveness that He talks about. It is about not judging. It is about not condemning. It is about our attitude and not about assets. Many a times we give importance to things which are not important to God. To forgive means to be forgiven. If you forgive, you will be forgiven to a greater extent. Both from man's side and from God's side. Jesus taught that in the Lord's prayer too. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. When we keep account of the wrongs done to us, remember that the wrongs done by us will be kept account of as well. Forgive just as God has forgiven. Do not judge. Do not condemn. As God has done to you....

Authentic

Lk:3:1-2 Oh! Why this mundane description. It looks boring. But a meticulous examination shows a pinpoint accuracy that is reliable. Dr. Luke presents the good News after a thorough research. When you look into the annals of history, we see these people were for real. Rulers over these places in real time. Which says this account is no figment of someone's imagination. But the real description of things that happened. As if Dr. Luke is saying, if you have any doubt, see, this is the time it happened I say. Go Check in the books of history. Which means. Jesus is real. So His death is real. So His resurrection is real. This makes Him unique. That proves that He is God Himself and not just another story of one god coming to stay with mankind. Authentic. Fool proof. To the point. Period. Image credit: https://www.istockphoto.com/search/2/image-film?phrase=thumbs+up+meaning

Led by the Spirit

That day the Spirit led him to the temple. Lk:2:27 Simeon was a man who was led by the Spirit even for the trivial mundane routine things. The Spirit was already upon him and promised him that he would not die, till he sees the Lord's Messiah. Now one day the Spirit prompts him to go to the Temple. And because Simeon obeys the Spirit's leading, he meets his Saviour. His life is complete and fulfilled now. Forget about taking decisions. Everyday routine, are you being led by the Holy Spirit? Will not such a life be beautiful - being led and guided by God's Himself. Taken to places where He would want us to be. Meeting people that He would want us to. Only His plan. But for that Simeon was righteous and devout and eagerly waiting.  Image credit: https://landmarkjourneyministries.com/
