See, I am sending you.

A cluster of haiku

As lambs among wolves,

so, my friends, I send you out:

bearers of good news.

Pronounce God's shalom.

The blessing will find a home

in children of peace.

As they welcome you

those people, too, will be blessed;

God's reign coming near.

Not all will listen,

some will not see the kingdom.

Still, it has come near.
