Today I am Seeking {4}

I cannot get it out of my head.

Article it may have been, but I suspect instead: Posting of a friend.

The only Christian job, it said, (during "this election") was to protect protect and only protect, our religious freedom.

It haunts me now, though it bothered me then.

(I have been on my face, in repentance of this; my complacence, yes.

But the pride of this, Christ's church?

I have been on my face, in repentance of this.)

We are called His Body,
but where did his of-the-flesh and on-this-earthly body go?
Even unto death.

(We are called His Body; if you are the church, and I am the church, then I am on my face because my body, hurts.)

Think back, look at this: He claimed he was the "Son of God," prince in line from the Highest King, yet he knelt his body on the ground. He took in hand and tenderly washed the filthy, nasty, dirt-of-the-walking feet of those down and out friends, weary from the following him.

And then he was led to a cross, bled from his own blood our every other stain, so all who call upon his very Name, walk clear and forevermore, stain-free.

(I am on my face, to repent of this stain, the stain of this, my body:
When did Jesus ever command: protect yourselves?
Lose your life, he said. Follow me, he said.
To claim that we are following him is no. small. thing.)

So, today, I am Seeking. And, today, this is what I found:

Not everyone who calls out to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. On that judgement day, many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; get away from Me, you who act by disregarding My commands'. [Jesus, as quoted by Matthew, The Bible, p. 1074.]

I never knew you. Get away from Me.

If your heart doesn't break now Church, it certainly will then.
