The Son of God
When they called to Him "Come down,
Come down, if you're the Son of God,"
Jesus gasped and did just that
With an absolute, Amen nod:
Down He came into our hearts,
Then up on Easter morn;
And now the veil that hid our God
Has been forever torn.

Movies
Are there theaters in Heaven?
Would Angels run the shows?
Would they show us The Avengers?
Only Jesus truly knows.

Fresh Fruit
Fig tree grows in a garbage can,
Grows as well as a fig tree can,
Forced to grow in a garbage can.
Jesus wouldn't dare curse this tree,
As loaded with figs as a tree can be,
Unless of course there's something else to see,
Hidden within this bountiful tree.

Matthew 28
When Jesus meets you on the way,
Do not be afraid.
Fall to your knees like Mary M
And whisper, "Your Handmaid."

Peter in the Garden
"First Response"
"Let them come, Jesus, my Lord!
I know just what to do!
I have my sword; I'll keep you safe:
I'll slay them all for you!"
"Put up your sword, my fiery friend;
I need no armed protection.
I must do what I must do;
Look to your own defection."

The Agony
"Jesus Christ on a Cross!" they said.
Spear in his side, blood bright red,
Face of the crowd, a face of Dread.
Nails through his wrists, nails through his feet:
"Come Lamb of God, let's hear you bleat!"
"How do you like this judgment-seat?"
One shallow breath, too quickly dead.
Darkness--this holy land o'erspread.
"Jesus Christ on the Cross," they said.
