Risen Christ

Jesus speaks "Peace, be still" to the disciples gathered in fear
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.

Hi Anne, I love this. I think most people can relate. It is wonderful to know that God does not wait for us to cry out to him, but he calls to us and gives us ears to hear. May all wandering hearts respond to His call. Many blessings to you! Keep them coming! TeresaRespond to this comment
