Thursday of the 5 th week in Lent

Before  Abraham ever was.
I am.
This is not the result of any laws.

But just amongst us, here is the holy lamb.

A friend of mine has died suddenly.
A week ago alive , the funeral in a week.
All our petty concerns brought to a close so early.
We never have enough time to find,  only to seek.

He was so vigourous.
Now he lies cold and still.
Unconscious.
No longer with any will.

But elsewhere, we hope, he thrives.
And we pray survives.

……

Before he ever was
Jesus tells us that he is
Just a mystery

…….

See John 8: 51-59
