Jesus is entombed
As evening approached, there came
a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become
a disciple of Jesus. Going to Pilate, he asked for the body of
Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. Joseph took
the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in
his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a
big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away.
(Matthew 27:57-60)
They cut me
down
And the women
And Joseph
Plead for
me
This time
With governor
Who, maybe still pondering
the question of truth
Gives them something this time
And we are
carried
By grief and death
To Joseph’s tomb
Unused
God of all,
Your son is gone
from sight;
You are gone from sight.
We can only touch the stones of earth;
We cannot see through worldly eyes
our hope in you.
We did this, humanity:
took you from us,
even to bury you kindly.
And we must dare
with mortal daring
To ask you to save us, still.
Restore to us our view of you
Beyond eyes, beyond senses
Beyond sin
Beyond audacity.
Amen |
