“Paul Regarding a Principal of Resurrected Life” (Reflection On 1 Corinthians 15:29-58)(Moffatt tr.)
There’s parts of Paul, which twisted are,
Not like Sun Tzu – no way, by Gar!
More “convoluted”, “complex” thought,
Which most young folks past meanings walk.Take letters to the Corinth church –
For years I have for meanings searched,
But then some teacher makes part clear,
Translator’s also – as with here.“Immortal”, “immortality”?
“Material”, there “heavenly”?
Say what? there Paul, what’s this about?
Not unbelief – not even doubt –It’s more your convoluted speech;
I found it even in your Greek;
You come from Jewish train of thought,
Run through Greek ways, which Spirit’s wrought!But here, it’s not that different from
The way all think beneath the sun.
–we know, “We all come from the dust”
(Organic chemistry and such).But “life of Spirit”, dwelling here,
Is also part of life – that’s clear –
But different is, we all know this,
For us on earth, its “Heaven’s Kiss”.All Paul asserts is we are changed,
What’s of the earth on earth remains;
And we’re reborn to spirit life,
More “stuff of heaven’s kiss”, it’s like.For me, the Spirit’s “kiss” to all,
Keeps us alive, extends its call
To rise above the mean and mean,
To life immortal midst what’s seen.So photos (silver-based with lab),
Organic are (for me quite sad
When shift was made to bits and bytes;
But change, once made, worked out all right).Both types of pictures are “of earth”
Like cats and dogs they have their worth;
Just like all life that’s physical
From “earth” it comes – God’s miracle!But Paul asserts that Heaven’s Kiss.
In all its forms is much like this –
It also comes from “Stuff of heaven”
Which different is from rocks and leaven.Thanks Holy Spirit for this.
