His passion and his dying
were not some hiccup
on the way to glory:
His hour of
Glory
is
upon the Cross.
One wheat-grain dies
and from that falling down,
-that earthing of divine,-
the fields are white with harvest
of new birth.
When He is lifted up,
the Prince of Glory on a wooden cross
[esvbible reference=”John 12:32″ header=”on” format=”tooltip” ]draws all to him[/esvbible]
[esvbible reference=”John 12:21″ header=”on” format=”tooltip” ]who want to see the Man[/esvbible],
the Son, the Sent;
Rivers of people come
and Rivers
[esvbible reference=”Revelations 22:1-2″ header=”on” format=”tooltip” ]flow[/esvbible].

(Reflection on John 12:21,23,32and Revelations 22,vv 1,2)
The Cross was not some Hiccup
