Do You Remember?

• How he disarmed the principalities and powers through a carpenter on a tree? 
• How he conquers the kingdom of darkness with fishermen, tax collectors, and prostitutes? 
• How he still protects his people from the Death-Angel with Lamb’s blood on the door? 
• How he still provides daily bread and magic bread from heaven? 
• How, when his people thirst, he squeezes living water from the Rock who is Christ? 
• How he commands his covenant on fleshly hearts and dwells within them as his lasting abode? 
• How he is building a Glory-Tent out of people, a human temple built with living stones from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation? 
• How we are that people, wandering in a graveyard of death, building our homes on billions of bodies and bones buried under the earth? 
• How we follow the Greater Joshua into the inheritance of the nations, conquering with a two-edged sword (and a worship band or two)? 
• How we await the day when we will turn this graveyard into a holy Garden-City, when he will send Death to Hell, and when everything sad will come untrue?
