The Jesus’ story told before

By people of ‘The Way’,

Was told to stimulate belief;

And so it is today.

Disciples said, “We’ve seen the lord.”

But Thomas was not sure;

“I need to see the wounds myself –

Some proof on which to draw.”

The story tells that when he saw

The wounds that love had borne,

He was transformed; he then adored;

The light began to dawn.

Today we see the wounded Christ

In those who combat wrong;

In those who clash with wickedness;

In weakness, they are strong.

The miracle of ‘Life’ from ‘Death’ -

In Jesus we can see

That love, when killed, can rise again

To feed us constantly.

​

​

We need no proof when this occurs

We know with certainty

Whenever love, compassion stirs

We live abundantly.
