At Lunch, And The Apostle Saint John's Good Food
So you, yourself, beheld Jesus transfigure?
Folks must have thought that they had never heard
(nor ever would again) of something bigger.
Oh, I am sure such statements had been said.
And He was, as you have told us, God's Word---
and by this dark world utterly rejected:
even when He came in the flesh, among us,
and spoke His Father's love in our own tongue; us
to redeem upon our sole believing.
The world will say such good news is deceiving
even when based upon---fully connected
to---that momentous fact: Christ, resurrected,
the firstborn and the raiser of the dead.
And none of those who know this are now grieving.
