“I have told you of earthly things,” he said.
We don’t want to know of earthly things, we reply.
We already know too much of that.
“If you don’t believe what I say of earthly things,
why would you believe what I say of heavenly
things?” he questioned.
We are living examples of failed flesh and bone.
God’s disappointing experiment.
A tremendous loss
of catastrophic proportion.
We want the second chance that heaven promises.
“All are welcome, who come through me,” he reminded.
We were made in his image.
A piece of perfection—of the whole.
Just as you were, we reply.
“I died for you.”
You are pleading now-
You had no choice but to die, we reply.
He hung his head.
“You are not a loss-
a misunderstanding.
or a living example of failed flesh and bone.
You just lost your way, forgot your God.”
~Later~
A man walks into the temple, white robes flowing and colorful sashes round his neck.
He wears a tall pointy hat, and walks with a staff.
He is our representative to God.
He is our counsel.
He does not know our names.
He does not know our troubles.
He does not have sex.
He does not marry~yet he is qualified.
He is just a man.
We are to honor his knowingness.
We are to acknowledge his high place.
He does not know us by name.
He does not understand your death.
We have forsaken you.
Such a tremendous loss
Of catastrophic proportions.
