Risen Christ

by Anne Linington(180) Red Star

Almost imperceptibly the risen Christ enters within the closed doors of my fears

Penetrating the defensive armour that protects from further pain,

But of necessity, keeps one imprisoned and alone.

Gentle as a breath, Jesus speaks His word of “Peace…”

And I am comforted by His presence.

Unable to grant Him entry, He has taken the initiative

And comes into my world, as He once came two thousand years ago.

The historical Jesus, Word made flesh and Incarnate Son,

Still comes to frightened disciples, grief-stricken women,

Bewildered friends and guilt-ridden followers.

Jesus, manifest your risen self,

To all who long for that personal life changing encounter with you.


Anne Linington, Isle of Wight UK

Based on a time of contemplative prayer when Jesus manifested his presence within my closed doors, as he did with the disciples
