"How It's Done Today" [Module #92] (John 7:12ff)
To kill a person here today,
Just get him fired – the loss of pay
Will shut him up, or her, of course,
It’s hard to ride without a horse.In Canada you need a group;
If by yourself, you’re in the soup;
Suspicious are you when you’re one –
“Who jerks your chain?” You need someone –To be the social suasion guy;
Who, on behalf of others, cries,
“Back off, my friend, or spouse, or kin,
Or huge the pickle you’ll be in”.They tried that route in Jesus’ day;
He laughed and sent them all away –
“My brothers, sisters, and my kin,
Comply with life I guide them in.If you live free amongst the trapped,
It impact has – folks seeing that
Respond to you – choose freedom too,
Or turn, attack, destroying you.So, how to minimize the pain?
How walk as free amongst the lame?
Like working in a swarm of bees –
It’s randomness of acts which ease –The fears of those quite paranoid
Of differences, who thus avoid
All shifts from normal life they hold,
Rejecting those who live as bold.The ultimate in randomness,
Is Spirit-walking – even this,
Will not suffice at end of day,
For life in Christ, they’ll blow away –All those who march to different drum;
So die to life before you run
The race Christ sets before each one –
Alive in Christ you’ll then become.With death now past, it matters not
What then befalls you – push for top
Of life – no one now holds you back,
Or jerks your chain to keep on track.Thanks Lord for this.
