Dedicated to my Savior and my Jr. high English teacher, Colleen Tinker

 

MYSTERY

Life itself

MYSTERY

A cell dividing, multiplying, dividing again into one solitary heart beat.

MYSTERY

A baby's cries, coos, and gurgles forming into syllables of mama, dada.

MYSTERY

A boy child's disregard of little girls and a girl child's disregard of little boys – turning to interest, intrigue, first love.

MYSTERY

Two personalities learning to blend their lives in work, in play, in love.

MYSTERY

A universe set to perfect synchronized motion, planets dancing in solar systems,

never colliding, flowing with graceful ease.

MYSTERY

BUT the greatest of all . . .

He spoke and stars appeared . . .

He spoke and flowers bloomed . . .

He breathed and man inhaled . . .

MYSTERY

Then He cried, His diaper needed changing. He cried for the man He breathed into life to feed Him.

MYSTERY

His existence knew no boundaries, until He was contained in a body He had created.

MYSTERY

A love so passionate, He willingly allowed His own suffering, His own agonizing death.

MYSTERY

Death DIED, because His grace won

MYSTERY

The spiritually dead have opportunity for RESURRECTED life.

MYSTERY

Holy, Holy, Holy,

Jesus, Lord , God, Almighty

He was, He is, He is coming.

MYSTERY

He spoke, He breathed, He cried, He suffered, He died, He will return to bring His "children" home.

MYSTERY

Now, He chooses to live in passionate union with those He breathed into existence

MYSTERY

Born Again

MYSTERY

Life Itself

MYSTERY

 

And the wind blows . . .

MYSTERY

Carolyn Macomber grew up Adventist and now attends The Chapel (Evangelical Free Church) in St. Joseph, MI. She wrote the poem while traveling on an airplane to her first Former Adventist Fellowship weekend, February, 2009. She finished the poem while at the conference. Her discovery of the finished work of the Lord Jesus happened through several personal dialogues with a Bible Study Fellowship teaching leader. This beautiful discovery took place while she was studying at Andrews University for her doctorate.
