Using the ‘S’ Word
A poem for Easter
“By one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy” (Heb. 10:14).
Two verb tenses:
“He has made perfect” done done done
“those who are being made holy”
still in progress
Justification and sanctification
Latin to me until
I see God looking at me
through Jesus
who stands between us
He sees me
innocent as Adam in Eden
when they walked and talked
and then
He lets me be part
of the becoming.
I already have the ticket to go
and now
we’re pressing wrinkles
out of my attire.
