Entering St Matthew’s Gospel
No tempest.
No dark clouds.
No thunder, lightning, stones flying, as in Moses.
But an upper room, brotherly love, and an eager anticipation.
There, in a mountain of smoke, Moses goes up.
Here, in an upper room, the Spirit comes down.
With breathless wonder, in a school of mystic silence, we arrive at the vestibule of St Matthew’s Gospel.
God becomes man, man becomes God-ly, heaven joins earth, earth joins heaven.
Man with a myriad of angels, with just souls made perfect.
The curse blotted out, the long war ends.
The Lamb is sacrificed, the stink of animals dismissed, the scent of Melchizedek’s bread and wine persists.
“The book of the generation of Jesus Christ.”
Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, Leah, excluded.
Thamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, included.
One of unlawful intercourse, the other a harlot.
Ruth a stranger, Bathsheba an adulteress.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, incarnate God—not ashamed to put on our disgraces—takes in His ancestry, our dishonors, our shames, our humiliations, redeems and heals them all.
For He comes as Physician, not as Judge.
You hear now of a husband, a mother, a name assigned to the child, and the type of birth.
How was He born?
The virgin was “found with child of the Holy Spirit.”
How was it that the Spirit brought forth the child?
Tell me how a drop of moisture becomes bones, nerves, arteries, joints, nails, and organs.
Then you can tell me how the Spirit worked.
Enter with me now into the Holy Gospel of St Matthew.
Man does not die in a ditch like a dog but lives afresh.
We continue the work of Christ, as co-workers conquering evil and death.
We belong to the future, the future belongs to us.
Enter with me fully into St Matthew’s Gospel and we will never be the same.
Glorious!
I learn so much from you. Please don’t stop.
Dear Brother,
What an incredible heard touching poem! Yes, “The curse blotted out, the long war ends.”
A long time ago since I heard such lovely words about our destiny. Keep on. Axel
Perfectly said, Brother!
The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ. Hallelujah!
Handel’s crowning achievement, Messiah, was not an immediate success. In 1741, Handel was heavily in debt following a string of musical failures. It seemed that his career was over, and he may even be forced to go to debtors’ prison. On April 8, 1741, Handel gave what he believed to be his final concert.
