Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first.
Also went in , he saw and believed.
Have we yet quenched our spiritual thirst.
Have we yet the truth received.

At the start of the Gospel my mind wandered .
There wasn’t much witness of the Resurrection.
Then at the end I actually listened and believed .
Thus our mind wanders in and out of inspiration.

It has taken only two days From the wood of the crib.
To the wood of the cross.
I  would but cannot fib.
My belief is often covered in moss .

St John Only stayed to the end.
Will we also stay true to our end .

…….

Belief comes and goes
Will we be true to the end
Or just run away

……..

See John 20:2-8
