Mr. Helpless Jesus dying on the Cross of men's hatred and rejection of the things of God,
life-blood spilling out of You, who can now do no more good on earth,
did you mean for me to be helpless too?
I read today about one man shooting another for "disrespecting" him,
and about one woman breaking the jaw of another with a beer bottle.
And I wonder---where is Your Spirit poured out upon the world?
Am I helpless or just indifferent to the suffering around me?
Can I make a difference, Mr. Helpless Jesus, or am I too pre-occupied?
I know You still live on earth in me---but have I nailed You to the cross of my own convenience and comfort, so that you are still helpless to help these, the least of your brethren? Have I made You "helpless" today?
