Back then…
Women made their way to the tomb when
the sun had risen,
To anoint Christ’s body, that’s why they came.
As they approached, they were clueless that
God’s Son had risen,
Even though several times, He’d told them the same.
The women asked, ‘Who will roll away the stone for us?!’,
Clueless that an angel had already rolled it away.
After they entered the tomb, only then did they trust.
They’d forgotten He had been anointed for death one day.
Thomas, absent when with the disciples Jesus first met,
Staunchly refused to believe their reports.
His faith was scant!
‘Only if I can see and touch him!’, words he’d soon regret,
Clueless that Jesus, then absent, was listening to his rant.
As they watched, Jesus began to rise, by a cloud obscured.
Stretching their necks, their curiosity spilled over the rim.
‘In like manner He’ll return again!’, an angel assured.
They were clueless that, on the cloud, there would then be
…room for them!
And today…
About Him, many the world over are clueless,
Unaware of Who He is and why to Earth He came.
Thus they live lives that, to Him, are very fruitless.
For Him, so many others have …nothing but disdain.
How can they learn what this Man, Jesus, is all about,
When Christians refuse to do their ‘commissioned part’,
And ‘secret agent Christians’ hope they
won’t be found out?
Living clueless lives, both groups are crushing His heart. 2
When we refuse to carry out His Great commission.
We are clueless between us He makes a difference!
While devils are celebrating our abdication,
Our feigned affections leave frowns upon His countenance.
C’mon! It’s time to WAKE UP, and get a clue!
God so loved the world, He sent Jesus, a Jew.
Jesus so loved the world, He commissioned …YOU.
How much longer in cluelessness will we stew??

2 Can you imagine Jesus, emotionally crushed because of our sinfulness?? In a pre-incarnate vision, this is what He told Ezekiel concerning the pending destruction judgment on Judah and Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon: Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because I was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me, and by their eyes which play the harlot after their idols; they will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations. (Ezekiel 6:9)
