“Two Different Scenes” [Die Broke series #4 principle] (Luke 1:26-38)
One scene acceptance, status quo;
The other one, who’d come to know
The future lay as man forthwith,
And Jesus as the Christ – her wish?To just obey, though thunderstruck
At what transpired – from village plucked
To play a role she’d not foreseen;
Bewildered by what just had been –Laid out for her, “Be not afraid”
Yes, right, it seems cards were in play
Which, if played out, would change the scene
Forevermore, for mean and mean.Meanwhile, Die-broke says live with fear;
Anticipate the end is near;
At any given time stay loose;
Don’t buy some boss’s Christmas goose.“For nothing is impossible
With God”, said Angel Gabriel;
“For Jesus’ Kingdom will not end,
Which you, no doubt, can’t comprehend.”“Amen” said one; “You’re on your own”,
Said other one; don’t buy a home,
But live with suitcase packed; move fast –
Outsider’s life – which cannot last.Perhaps for Mary, up ’till then,
She was like Die-Broke, thought of when
She would be wed, and girlish things,
Like all of us when nature sings.Then suddenly, the road went West
Instead of on to her address;
“Say what?” We ask when such affairs
Are our agenda – what compares –To this in day to day on earth?
Well, Kingdom-layer Christ brought through worst
One could imagine – “Kid of mine?!
I say, indeed! (In end sublime).Thanks Lord for this.
