As believers, who are we?

Are we Peter, grasping Christ's true self,
Growing, maturing, with pure intentions?
Falling flat in denial under trial,
Seeking forgiveness and trying again?

Or are we Judas: devious, scheming,
Purportedly trustworthy but inwardly lost
Desiring only to grasp material wealth
Sacrificing what we should have protected
For a bag of gold?

Perhaps the essence of both
Wrestles in the heart of every believer.
Duality of sin and salvation
Threatens to destroy us each day.

Pray without ceasing. Cling to the Father.
Ask yourself: Who am I? Judas? Or Peter?


Words: 90.
Lines: 16.
Written for "SCRIPTURE POETRY CONTEST" Open in new Window.
Prompt: a poem about anything which took place between Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
