Time-Bound Creature

What was it like, I wonder. For You to be constrained to time.

How did those temporal words press from Your heavenly lips?

"You know…." You asked Your friends, "that after two days the Passover is coming.

And the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion."

What was it like for You to use the vernacular of the time-bound creature?

"Two days"? What is this kind of speech? Certainly none You were accustomed to.

And You were right.

It came.

You were.

And the speaking world was stunned in Your silence.

Matthew 26:1-5
