The Good That God Began

I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it. Philippians 1:6
The slasher film Christian wants a Christ 
with a sword in his hands, a revenge flick 
apocalypse, a caustic judgement day,
but, what we get is a romantic comedy. 

“Abound in love for all” gushes Paul
let your end of days be a trust fall.
The good that God began in you still
burns and will until you join with all

in the fire of Christ’s consummation,
the culmination He called the kingdom.
For you that day is not damnation
but to be one with the incarnation.
