After John 1:1-14
He was sent to witness,
he was sent to speak,
he was sent to testify
of the light that was coming.
the light coming into the world
the light, the word, to logos
was here,
here in the world,
shining, yet strange,
an alien who looked like us
but unrecognized, suspected,
rejected by the very people
who had hoped and prayed
for him for centuries.
He came as a man,
to live among us
for a time, to teach
and heal, until the day
the stone rolled away and
he was not here.
