Not one of us

 Haiku of welcome


Wasn’t one of us,

casting out in Jesus’ name;

we told him to stop.


Complained to Jesus.

No probs. He’s not against us,

must be on our side!


When deeds of power

are done in my name, they bear

witness to my words.


The great welcomer;

Jesus looks a what we do,

not at our Tee-shirt.


When people bless you

because you carry my name,

they too, will be blessed.


Don’t make barriers

that cause the weak to stumble;

work to welcome them.


Let nothing stop you

from living the kingdom life.

It is ev’rything.


The kingdom’s good salt

is in you. Share peace and salt

with everyone.
