Waiting


Waiting.

He told us to stay in Jerusalem until the power came.
It wasn’t bad, the waiting.
We had one another, meeting for prayer.
There was business, the gap Judas left.
But still . . .
When?

When it did, it was like nothing we imagined.
Together for worship.
The space was transformed,
Filled with Jesus.
And we were transformed,
Filled with Jesus.

Speaking in languages never learned,
The work was clear.
Jesus not just for us, not just for Israel.
‘You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,
And to the ends of the earth.’

The world was waiting.
