Threaded through History

Threaded through History

This ancient, reluctantly spoken,

God given curse,

Invoked by deception,

Earth temporarily corrupted,

Human life severely disrupted,

Woe for womenkind,

Suffering, subjugation, submission,

No one listening,

Women’s gifting,

Suppressed, repressed,

Now dimly glistening,

Reality changed,

Men struggling to relate

To their God given mate,

Hard labour, trouble,

Unnecessary strife,

Hope lost,

No free and just life.

Then He intervenes,

Hope incarnate,

Born of a virgin,

There at the margins,

Christ, the awaited Messiah,

Living in hiding,

Hounded, surrounded,

God not a bit blinded,

Outworking His mysterious plan,

Liberated captives,

Freedom from bondage and sickness,

Then, Christ is man-handled, mistreated,

God the Son, dies on a Cross cruelly hurt and rejected.

One act, one moment,

Pervading all time,

Hope realised,

Three days later He rises,

Death and sin defeated,

Every curse impotent, broken,

The Devil defeated,

Believers once lost, now transformed,

Overwhelmed by His saturating love,

Servanthood, Suffering, Sacrifice,

Our Salvation,

His regard for the weak, the strong,

All human kind,

He ascends to Heaven,

Pours out Holy Spirit’s refreshing,

Wonders for men, women and children,

God works out His mysterious mending,

Mended and moulded by their Maker,

Rediscovered mutuality,

Recovered reciprocity,

Unburdened, unbound,

Enjoying God-given blessed relations,

True freedom and manifest blessing.
