Poems Based on Lectionary Gospels
The apostles were not very happy one day,
the result of what they saw as danger,
for someone had cured in the name of the Lord
who was not one of them, but a stranger.
But Jesus, when they had complained to him, said,
'Let him be. And be not so suspicious.
And always remember, if you would have peace,
he who is not against us is with us.
What a lesson that day, the apostles had learned
and it’s one that we often still need
if we really would grow in the love of the Lord
and from arrogance we would be freed.
