Hard
to Believe...
That
the waters of the Red Sea drew back to let the fugitives pass through.
Hard
to believe.
.
That
Jonah got swallowed by a great fish and then spit out on the beach: that
a star stopped over a stable and water became wine.
Hard
to believe.
.
That
joyous Hosannas at the coming of Jesus should turn so quickly to tears
for the dying and then wild rumours of the rising.
Hard
to believe.
.
That
for every single person living on the earth there are 9 galaxies out there
beyond the blue sky; 80 billion galaxies; that each galaxy harbours at
least one hundred billion suns, and that somehow the living God can keep
track of all this
AND
the hairs on your head, not to mention the sparrows.
Hard
to believe.
.
That
God the Extravagant should have splashed grace all over creation
yet not allowed so much a s a shadow of it to fall across the delicate
fronds of your own soul.
Hard
to believe.
.
That
when the humble Christ comes in through the gate, through the door,
through
the eyes, through the heart, the world is not changed forever.
Hard
to believe.
