Mark 9:2-13
We do not see
It isn’t for our eyes
That glory on the mountainside
A glare to mesmerise
Enough for us the daily scene
From morning light till dusk
Enough for us the common sense
In which we put our trust
The Lord appears among us
A normal human soul
Read him as you read another
Judge him fair or foul
He does not seek for splendour
Or signs to make you stare
He talks a human language
Gives us what we can bear
Three things we need to live this life
Three things to balance true
Faith in the goodness that we know
And hope to follow through
And love most kind for everyone
For family friend and foe
These are the powers that anchor us
And direct how we shall go

+ The divinity of Christ is not something that Jesus reveals to all. His humanity is enough to reveal who he really is.
