Lies fall
When the
Truth is
Revealed
The physical
Fades away
When the
Spirit appears
I Corinth 15:44
“It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.”
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting for the Word
Lies fall
When the
Truth is
Revealed
The physical
Fades away
When the
Spirit appears
I Corinth 15:44
“It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.”
Eternal within the temporal
Spiritual within the physical
Light within darkness
Life within death
Christ within me
I John 4:4
“…greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
If we put our
Physical needs
Before our
Spiritual needs
We suffer
“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it.”
Helen Keller
What is the difference
Between two things
Between the physical
And the spiritual
One is temporal
The other eternal
One has form
The other formless
One we can see
One we cannot
Nevertheless
These two are
Still the same
If we see a difference
Our perception
Is not aligned
With the eternal
St. John 10:30
“I and my father are one.”
Those with vision
Are able to see
What is not visible
To the human eye
What is spiritual
Cannot be seen
With human eyes
What is spiritual
Can only be seen
By the spiritual
Those with vision
Proverbs 29:18
“Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keeps the law, happy is he.”
In the beginning
The Word
Became flesh
In the beginning
Man became
A living soul
One was created
One was born
The creator
Became flesh
And the created
Became a living soul
Are we descendants
Of the living soul
Or the flesh
I Corinth 15:45-46
“The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.”
We as a people
Have the luxury
Of hindsight
From where we are now
We can reflect back
To the very beginning
Of existence as we know it
Through science
We see the physical world
But through the scriptures
We see the spiritual world
Science has the big bang
As a creation story
Or something out of nothing
To account for our physical being
The Bible also has a creation story
Showing us our spiritual evolution
To reveal to us our spiritual body
Science reaches back to the
Depths of time in space
To find the beginning of time
Likewise through the scriptures
We can reach back
To the depths
Of our spiritual source
My relationship
With Christ
Is not physical
But spiritual
That which cannot
Be defined
The physical
Is only a way
To understand
The spiritual
++++++++++++
Is the primal scream
From she
Who cries out
In pain
To be delivered
Or from she
Who cries out
In ecstasy
As she comes together
With her Lord
Ephesians 6:31-31
“…and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”
What is the difference
Between two things
Between the physical
And the spiritual

The other eternal

The other formless

Nevertheless
These two are
Still the same
If we see a difference
Our perception
Is not aligned
With the eternal
He divided (separated) us
From each other
Physically
But each one remains
Connected to him
Spiritually
He is the common bond
We share with each other
We are not apart from Christ
We are a part of him
And he a part of us
The part is not different
From the whole
