Disruption

Conceived in a scandal, born in a barn,
Jesus disrupts and disturbs fallow lives.

He offended his people by breaking their rules,
bringing not peace, but a sword

to vanquish the old ways, to unshackle the laws.
He was a dissident, an insurgent, a dent in the world.

Some who'd awaited God's final word
were disappointed, insulted, outraged.

There was no throne, just a stumbling stone,
no peace before or after that day.

Your waiting is ended this Christmas morn,
a soul choice is His unending gift.

He is here. All is changed.
Now in silence He waits for you.

Thank you, Diane. I copied this (giving you credit along with a link to this blog) for today's class at my church. It will be our first meditation.

And the Word became flesh, and pitched his tent among us. ~ John 1: 14

He offended his people by breaking their rules,
bringing not peace, but a sword.


Not so different from WikiLeaks Julian Assange, but even more profound!
