Haiku responding to 1 Pt 2:19-25
Being God aware,
you do well to endure pain,
unjust suffering.
If you endure when
you suffer for doing right,
God approves of you.
We're called to follow
Christ who also suffered; He
is your example.
Jesus did not sin,
he spoke truth; he was abused
but returned it not.
Christ trusted in God,
knowing that God is a judge
who is always just.
He carried our sins
in his body, opening
our way to healing.
Like sheep we had strayed,
now the shepherd welcomes us
back, and guards our souls.
