Haiku for a servant
people
Imagination
is engaged less by
constructs
than by parables.
He told his stories;
cunning, sneaking up on
us,
causing us to think.
Many parables
cause us to squirm.
Banish them;
choose other verses.
His stories trouble.
This one disturbs more
than most;
gives no place to hide.
Unavoidable!
The king, (Jesus),
expects us
to care for others!
Naked, in prison,
hungry, homeless or
stranger;
we must show them love.
The neighbour in need
is an opportunity
to love your master.
Make no excuses.
We will be judged by
our deeds;
by how we have loved.
