Beggars at the gate

Beggars at the gate take their chances.

And decide, whether it means food or death, they’ll surrender. 

They’re going to die anyway in the midst of siege and growing scarcity.

So they head to the enemy’s camp.

Walls

Walls of Jericho stand tall. Towering. 

Encircling darkened nations. Cities. Communities. Hearts.

Looming large and impossible in our eyes.

Stone upon stone. Holding firm.

In opposition to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Walls.

Born blind

Born blind. The man now sees. 

And gives witness. Boldly.

“He’s of age; ask him” (John 9:23).

“Was blind, but now I see.”
