Haiku for the faithful.
Temptation stories:
will his mission be derailed?
Jesus is not swayed.
This devil fella,
who invited him into
these Gothic stories?
Angels and devils;
do they still make sense to us,
must we yet believe?
If you are God’s Son . . . ?
Great question! What quality
makes Jesus God’s child.
What makes me God’s child?
Is it that I am baptised,
or because I love?
The superpowers
hinted at in these stories;
will they capture him?
Or is he defined
by denial, declining
any privilege?
Refusing comfort,
and captive to his calling
he chooses his path.
Worship only God
and do what God requires.
The choice for us all!
