Taking the Towel
(Out of Order, but here's one of David's for Maundy Thursday)
(C) David Grieve 2005 ¶ 5:59 pm
If you want a god who lives in palaces,
pushing buttons
and summoning servants
to fulfil his every whim
at every hour of the day or night,
don’t choose Jesus.
If you want a god who will make you
prosperous, successful, and
up there with the high flyers
who have paid into their destiny,
don’t choose Jesus.
If you want God, who shows the way
by stripping naked and taking the towel
and embarrassing you into imitation of Him,
there is no other choice but Jesus.
(C) David Grieve 2005 ¶ 5:59 pm
