Before all else, Christ.

Responding to Colossians 1:15-28

Haiku


Christ is the image

of the invisible God;

all things came through him.


Thrones and dominions,

rulers, powers; they're nothing,

he comes before all.


He's the beginning,

head of the body, the Church,

firstborn from the dead.


In him God's fullness

was pleased to dwell,

ending estrangement.


Those who were estranged

are now reconciled through Christ,

and find peace with God


Our own sufferings

don't count; We participate

in Christ's afflictions.


We share the myst'ry

of Christ's presence, that we may

find ourselves in Him.
