Introduction to the Gospel for Lent

The New Temple

Change from one state to the next ’sno piece of cake!

We cross our Passover, then seek return!

Bridges passed, we wish we had not burned.

We think "It’s only change for change’s sake"!

Now the former temple is whipped clean;

being purified, prepared for its demise.

In Christ’s body, the temple will arise

his wounds, the windows; death, the altar screen.

Worship anew, (beyond the edifice),

the living God in every living one of us.
