God's Protest
Do you know-God Protested!
He'd had enough.
He looked at the way the world was
and is
and will be.
(Well God can do that sort of thing.)
And he said,
that's it
they've gone too far
they've stretched the limit
they're unbelievable!
He overheard,
preachers,
prophets,
politicians,
all talking about peace
but each fighting their own personal war.
God said I'm going to Protest.
Look at the greed,
look at the hurt,
look at the lies,
look at the shame.
They've all missed the point.
Lost the plot.
Forgotten the plan.
That's it,
the world is burst
it's my ball.
So God protested.
He cried.
tears of anger
tears of sadness
tears of pain
tears of love.
Just like a rainbow.
and God's protest
was ignored.
So God decided on
another protest.
He used
words
spoken and written by
prophets,
poets,
and ordinary people.
Still his protest
fell on deaf ears
it wasn't heard
it was drowned out
by the noise of other voices.
Then God
made
his final
protest.
He took to the streets
he came into
the world
Himself
He took it all into himself.
The sin,
the Water,
the Spirit,
the flesh,
the baby,
the man,
the cross.
the resurrection.
He did it all in protest,
out of love,
and called it,
REDEMPTION!
