Reflection
(inspired by Matthew 26:15, Mark 14:11, Luke 22:3-6, John
13:27-30)
you
are cheap at the price, jesus:
thirty pieces of silver for a kingdom.
thirty pieces of silver for a kingdom.
i
bet judas and you had conversations galore about this
for three years nearly,
that this was no surprise to you.
for three years nearly,
that this was no surprise to you.
i
can imagine him taking you aside saying, 'now, lord. now!
the people will listen and they'll rally round you.
this is the kairos.'
the people will listen and they'll rally round you.
this is the kairos.'
and
what was your reply?
did
you have one
or was it a silent acceptance of what people cannot accept
that love is a different way
it is never by force
never by conflict
never by violence
or was it a silent acceptance of what people cannot accept
that love is a different way
it is never by force
never by conflict
never by violence
that
they saw the wrong conflict
this
one was much bigger
