Christ Incites

Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left. Therefore, stay awake!” Matthew 24:42
Wake up! Now.
Look around. 
Be aware!	
		
See the gap between 
the real and the ideal,	
the world’s disrepair 
versus 
the future commonweal.

Christ incites us to prepare
for the coming ordeal,
the winnowing of the unjust 
from the fair.

We wait for the ultimate separation
when the first born of creation
brings about the final consummation.

We pick our place in the selection 
the ax fall or welcome home.
Choose Christ Now.
Our calm in the storm 
opening like a lover’s arms.
