The promise to you

 

Haiku for a preacher


Powerful preaching

from one touched by the Spirit;

the man called Peter,


He preaches Jesus,

given over, put to death;

raised to life once more


The assembled crowd

is deeply moved by his words;

ask, what should we do?.


He tells them “Repent!

Be baptised in Jesus’ name;

ev’ry one of you.


You’ll be forgiven

and you’ll receive the Spirit,

be joined into God.


The promise to you

and all who are far away:

Find your life in God!
