Throughout the night, He wrestles Jacob,
As well as enters into Joseph’s dreams.
He comes in the storm in Job,
and a whisper with Elijah.
He is the architect for Noah and Solomon.
The building inspector at Babel
and houses built on sand.
He sets the prisoners free.
Embraces the wayward prodigal.
Accepts Judas’ kiss,
along with the strike to the other cheek.
He is the Light of the world
and the fire at Pentecost.
He arrives in a manger
in Bethlehem.
Departs as a sacrifice
at Calvary.
And will return as Host of the First Supper
in New Jerusalem.
He is what our parents warned us about:
“You can’t be everything to all people.”
Amen.
