Through the wall He came. – based on John 20v 19-23
As we were at our most fearful in he walked.
Jesus.
He did not use the door.
He was more real
than the walls.
More substantial
than bricks and mortar.
They were not important to him.
A man who death could not hold
is not held back by the walls we had hidden behind.
He came inside everyone.
And he smiled.
He was Jesus.
The one we knew.
We loved.
Not the twisted face of pain and torment.
The face of pain we saw upon the cross.
But the broad smile of someone
who knows the worst
but knows that deeper
it is all going to be alright.
“Peace be with you”
He stretched his arms out wide
His robe fell back showing us the wounds
that bought our freedom
We ran to him
full of disbelief
and certainty.
This is very clever in the way you can see all the different emotions in the disciples.
