The empty tomb, whether history,
myth or metaphor
proclaims Jesus is not "out there"
but is "in here;"
in me, in us and in others.
Jesus' resurrection followed by
Pentecost
bequeaths to us the indwelling
Holy Spirit of god.
Christ within us.
We may shroud this bright inner
beacon and light our way
with our little ego candles
or we choose the reverse.
Choosing to surrender our will
to the will of God
seems like suicide.
And in a way, it is.
Surprisingly, we not only survive
but thrive.
What could be more exciting
than following the adventure of
God's loving will
God, I give myself to you this day,
guide me with the light of your will.
Let it be so now.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done.
