“Whisper words of wisdom~Let it Be”

Beatles Words from Jesus?

Or other prophets?

Blood on the land from so many who speak to us as we contemplate our own place.

Martyrs~~oh SO many that we can name, and those who are unknown.

Those who did not only gaze at their navels, but spoke Truth to Power.

Yet, first, did they not reflect?

Our leaders, inspirers, and yes, our own pastor is one of these.

Because Jesus was not wrong. He did not get lynched by not being radical to his time and place. He knew he would. He knew. Yet, he Let It Be.

Let us count the names ~ yes, too many, Thank God, so many!

Do we die on the cross along side? Dare we? Should we? Must we?

Good Friday. We anticipate the Resurrection. Because now we have the story, the history, the faith. But what if we were there then; confused, frightened, intimidated, betrayed?

Jesus answered him. “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43 NIV 

Jesus telling “the truth” just at death? No, telling the truth always. The scary, today, truth. Truth to power. (little “p”) We have the power.

We have been gifted the Power (big “P’).

This time, as we pray, the blood must stop, the hate must end, the gift has been given of LIFE.

Let It Be!
