Poetry - The Servant and The Thief - by Randy Nelsen

-



Lust is a Thief
Love is a Servant
The Thief comes 
 In the Darkness 
The Servant in Light 
The Thief Breaks 
through sealed doors 
In the Shadow of the Night  
The Servant Opens blinded eyes 
To bring hidden things to Light
The Thief comes with a dagger
The Servant with a Sword
The Thief comes within a cloak
The Servant in The written Word 
which he lived and Spoke
The Thief came to take and kill
But the Servant came to do His will
The Thief came to Tell a Lie 
But the Servant came 
That Love should Die
And for every Man
To Make a Way
With His Life 
The Price was Paid In Blood
And on that day He was lifted High
His hands Transfixed for you for I 
And When he cried out with his Last Breath
The Thief was Slain With Jesus Death

In the theater, an actor (hypokritēs) would switch masks to portray different characters, concealing their true identity. The focus was on the external performance, not the actor’s real self. When Jesus called the Pharisees “hypocrites,” He was pointing...
