Matrix Moments

Media Moments: Question, reflect, connect

Standing in a Crowd

Wholeness came
through the hole in time
the pivoting point in time
collisions of past, present and future
and the King who became human,
began thirty years
journey on Earth.

God:
Passion sending purpose
Love leading to suffering
sending the light
revealing the blood cost
knowing the loneliness of pain
bringing life out of hell
singing life out of death.

Servant:
on a donkey
destiny hidden in simplicity
deliverance hidden in sacrifice,
surrender freeing salvation
to all people through
the King of miracles
the King of creation,
Palms laid, palms raised
A carpet of Praises
a crowd of worship
recognising the Saviour,
The eternal work of God
made flesh
made to ride
made for betrayal
made for the joy
made for the passion
made to die
to change
everything.

Self:
In the crowd
we stand
praise or playing,
Living lives of
possibilities, potential
pain, power, passion.

In the crowd
we can survive, hide,
Or decide.

Starting Thoughts:
Where are we in the crowd? Just hiding behind the majority, safety in numbers? Willing to stand out and be different? Are we prepared to make a decision for our King?

At the Cross

"The hard cross reveals an immense love. We can know who we truly are at the cross."

At the cross
Hard wood, hard nailed, 
hard faces
Soft flesh.
Sin's focus
Sin's power
Sin's lies.

Flawlessness embraces flaws
Perfect enveloping terrible 
Hope infusing fear,
Love enfolds the cold,
Streams of mercy
heaven's cascade,
Washing clean.
It's who Jesus is.

Some sins escape me,
The things I don't do
when I could
I slip,
Good is not enough
in God's perfect.

At the cross
Love revealed,
Immense, wide
Not a half-filled cup
but ocean depths,
Freedom claimed,
Healing imparted,
Forgiveness flows.

Jesus takes all sin.
I am
Loved,
Released...
Oh, the infinite closeness, 
It's who I am,
It's who I know.

I Am

If I met
Combined, connected into one:
Power
Love
Justice
Sacrifice
Significance
Freedom
Eternity
Brother, sister, friend, father, mother
Extremes
Life
Spirit
King
Cost
Change.

Would my mind cope?

If I had
All time
All words
They would not be enough
Just ebbing thoughts,
Inadequate shadows,
To describe the Great,
"I am"

Time Reloads

Head in hands,
Hands, hair, skin, skull
Holding in the pain,
Replaying images.

Time reverses
Seconds leach from the future,
Spiralling past events
Decisions, consequences,
Small flights of thought
Covering vast spaces
Of choice,
Ticking seconds, minutes, years
Unfolding past from present,
Unrolling truth and lies...
Unaware alternatives
Mixed with desired selections.

The paths
Wide and narrow,
Dark and light,
Forks in our story.

It's your choice,
Choice

Time Reloads

Starting Thoughts
Making choices and decisions. How does one choice affect our life?

Give us a King

In Christ,
No longer Jew and Greek
Slave or free
Young or old
Male or female
make or remake,
We are one,
No better
than each other,
All entering
the same promise.

But boy...
do we try
to fake it,
rename it,
And crown a new king!

Give us a king
A president, chief
A chancellor, mullah, priest,
Just someone,
A leader,
Who we can give
hope to
pain to,
blame to
dreams to.
Emperor
in new clothes.

And a boy...
truth in the crowd,
Cries
"The emperor,
he is naked,
not wearing anything!"

The One only King
Has clothed us
in his righteousness ,
Called us heirs
to his forgiveness
Kingdom of love,
His aliveness,
Crowned us all
his children,
His riches,
Be free,
be one,
be this love
be His blessing
Be His witness.
Give Us a King Chrisitan Poem
