Haiku of resolution.
The gospel puzzle:
Jesus the Galilean,
born in Bethlehem.
Rounding his story
Matthew give us more
angels
to sort the mess
out.
Despotic Herod’s
plans are spoiled,
the infant
retreats to safety.
The threat is given
substance in a
massacre;
a lucky escape!
Acts of cruelty
abound in human
affairs;
why not another?
So the family
seeks refuge, South,
in Egypt.
Like their
ancestors.
It falls to Joseph,
family head,
provider,
to protect his
child.
Micah took us to
Bethlehem for the
birth, time
now for Nazareth!
The conundrum
solved!
The refugee family
settles in the
North.
