Here’s
a prayer reflection or response to scripture (Luke 19:40) from Roddy Hamilton’s
Mucky Paws website.
Knowing
(inspired
by Luke 19:39-40)
Some of the
Pharisees in the crowd said to Him,
"Teacher,
rebuke Your disciples."
But Jesus
answered,
"I tell
you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!"
(Pile of stones in the
middle)
Did
the stones know?
Did
the stones know
they
would soon have to shout ‘Hosanna’
because
those who had first shouted it
would
soon be shouting ‘Crucify’?
Did
Jesus know?
Did
Jesus know
that
those who followed in this fickle crowd
would
soon turn their backs
on
the only hope they had
Did
Jesus tell the stones?
Did
Jesus tell the stones
that
they would be needed to shout
for
they alone knew
the
secret of tombstones
Do
we know?
Do
we know when to shout
and
when to hold silence
as
the saviour struggles for love
and
love struggles with him
