Sepulchre

A whitewashed sepulchre
A beauty from without
For all to behold its
False purity
Was what you said
Of a Pharisee
But inward their hearts were
Filled with
Uncleanliness
Rotting flesh
Decomposing
Dry bones
Death.
Hypocrisy is easy to deny
2,000 years from the comparison
Of self-righteous men
Who knew only of works
And nothing of love.
But in between the leather binding
Written on the diaphanous tissue
Are your crushing words
Bold print in red
That point the condemning finger
Used to paint a biblical picture of
A modern day me....
The Pharisee in me.
Can there be hope
For a heart
As muddled and murky as mine?
But with your holy ingression
You light a match
Set a flame to dying embers of my soul
With your Spirit's light
Dust the cobwebs and banish the soot
Resurrect the dry bones to new life
And abide.
Sanctified by Your touch
This sepulchre is a testimony of the grace.
Made beautiful by You
And holy in your eyes
A beam of hope goes forth from the sepulchre
The righteousness is now not mine
But a cleansing of Your blood.

I couldn't stop reading this. We all go through our Pharisee period. Sadly, the other side is those who know only the grace and feel no need to be hindered by God's rules. Your writes always give me much to ponder and cause me to re-examine my own walk. Good for you!

Your writes always make me think...
I love this, your words are beautiful.
I especially like this part:
Written on the diaphanous tissue
Are your crushing words
Bold print in red
That point the condemning finger
Used to paint a biblical picture of
A modern day me....
The Pharisee in me.
Can there be hope
For a heart
As muddled and murky as mine?
Stunning write sweetie,
