Good Friday Zeal Rediscovering
-
- Christianity
Good Friday invites us to notice where our zealous expectations of God lead to disappointment. Where do we go from there?
"Friday"
Misunderstood and patient King
Accused and slapped under cover of night
Abandoned by friends under rule of fight or flight
Misunderstood and patient King
Congratulating the meek, poor, and oppressed
Promising an unrecognizable, longed-for sabbath rest
You are not who I thought you would be
You cast down my sword to set me free
Yet defenseless and cold I still cannot see
Death as the inauguration of jubilee
Misunderstood and patient Friend
In darkness I find it easy to pretend
Warming my hands by the fire in regret
It’s almost truth to say I never knew you
Because I did not quite, yet
Find this poem in my book, "The Rage Against Grace".
