Consider These Things
Maybe St. Luke had thorns in his ears and
what the Lord Jesus himself really said was
It is more blessed to live than to deceive.
This, in my opinion, would truck with what
the spirit of the old book is really all about.
Stop the ruse. Drop the fig leaf. Quit trying
to shoehorn your life into someone else’s.
The blood that snaked down the foot of Christ’s
cross was a breakthrough pesticide designed
to seep beneath the surface of time and
choke fear at its roots. So please, consider these
things, and let not your heart be doubled.
Love this take on that verse! Wonderful and thought-provoking. And I love the wordplay.
