"Blessed are you when others revile you & persecute you & utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven--for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
We have Christ's mind. Shut it up in a box.
Made a test for the rest.
Is their doctrine pure?
Do we even understand what it means any more--
or what do we think the traditions are for?
We preached the whole counsel
but we slid over James
an epistle of straw
watch him go up in flames--
We didn't want to listen.
We didn't like weeping.
So we hugged our own selves
and called ourselves suffering
kissed our own boo boos
Sat still in our pews
and lived quiet lives
Unbearable Love,
the world hated you.
It casts stones at us too.
Are the stones true?
