Haiku of enquiry.
Late in the ev’ning,
when polite folk are
sleeping,
Nicodemus comes.
Why is he hiding,
what secret does he
conceal
in the dark of
night?
What doubts are
harboured,
to be kept from his
colleagues,
lest they heap their
scorn?
Value your doubting,
Nicodemus: your
questions
are embraced by God.
Clasp the mystery,
fear not the
uncertainty.
Doubt boldly, with
faith!
Birthed in the
waters
and through the
Spirit as well;
enter God’s
kingdom!
Through love you are
born,
in love the Son
comes to you.
It’s all about
love!
Eternal the life
that is shaped by
the Spirit;
this is salvation!
