recently I have run into a few people who are doubting Christ and thinking about leaving the faith. They sound just like this poem. what a desperate plea to find Jesus!
I would say...look to the crucifixion. look to Christ hanging on the cross, slowly suffocating, trying to catch a single breath, pulling himself by the spikes through his hands, his muscels trembling, legs cramping, the thorns on his head shooting fire into his brain, his bodily fluids begin to run down his legs as his eyes look in wide astonishment, he cannot find his Father’s face.
but He never lost sight of you,
never lost the love in his heart
never prayed that the nails be removed
never desired that the his tortured flesh be comforted
a moment too soon
a moment before the allotted time
a moment before he knew you were his
and he took that spear in his side
driven into his heart
and you were born in the
blood and water that flowed down his side.
He saved you.
Go ahead...even though you are not certain, even though you are not sure he’s there or he is the RIGHT Jesus, even though you reach into the darkness blindly, even though you are in the dark night of the soul, one thing is true. Jesus died for you. Jesus was crucified for you. THAT’S A FACT and THAT’S the REAL JESUS!
Take ahold of Jesus with you unfeeling heart.
Take him into your unfeeling arms
Take him without sensing his presence
Take...and kiss his broken heart
He is yours in the darkness
Your brother in your suffering
’That I may KNOW Christ in the fellowship of his sufferings."
This is JESUS. He has not forsaken you. you are knowing HIM in a different way.
