Haiku responding to Acts 10:34-43
The Spirit descends
upon some gentiles. Peter
becomes enlightened.
I now understand
that God has no favourites;
God loves everyone!.
In every nation
people who do the right thing
are embraced by God.
This is our message
for Israel, and for all:
Jesus Christ is Lord.
God anointed him
with the Spirit, with power,
to do good, to heal.
In Jerusalem
and Judea he brought hope
They put him to death.
God raised him to life
on the third day; we saw him,
and we ate with him.
He sent us to preach,
to tell that he is from God
and brings forgiveness.
