To rise above, not against, is to resurrect into new life

Wednesday Word

Wow, what a crazy couple of weeks it has been, right? When you see the word “resurrection,” what do you think about?

Welcome to Wednesday’s Word with Bryan Rodriguez and Trench Classes United.

From politically to personally, life as we knew it is picking up speed away from freedom and morality with what seems like warp speed. Social media is flooded with stories of human trafficking becoming public without a whole lot of attention, to certain rights that involve our freedom being threatened.

Life keeps on happening and it doesn’t stop, especially when it comes to our very own circles of family and friends. And when one leaves unexpectedly, we can’t help but stop and wonder, grieve and hopefully land on hope, the hope of a resurrection, the hope and knowledge of heaven.

Enjoy the words of this poem “Resurrection” written by a new guest blogger, Bryan Rodriguez.

                                                                                 Resurrection

Joyful shout for takeoff is at hand
Briefly sleep until a quaking of the land
Wheels up as the runway has disappeared
Believers in Christ have just been cleared
 
Earthly departure can be sudden like a rapture
Past and present met in the clouds for capture
United with the Savior ready for final approach
First class all the way gone are the days of coach
 
Powerful winds create a strong gust
No turbulence, just the reconstitution of dust
A round-trip flight to finish off corruption
Then eternal life without further interruption
 
Looking forward to our resurrection…

-Bryan Rodriguez
