woodworker (from fast forward: a history of the church)

A woodworker from the hill country
name of  Yeshua
Joshua
aka Jesus
  broke history in two
  reframed the law
  reinvigorated the prophets
  rewrote the DNA of the sick

evil spirits submitted to Him
fish jumped into nets for Him
loaves of bread multiplied for Him

He formed a coalition
He challenged authority
He purged the Temple
He riled the establishment

His own body
cracked open like bread
shattered like a wine glass
the pounding of the spikes heard round the world
the temple of the Holy Place torn from top to bottom
worn out traditions ripped to shreds
they could not contain
the One who sprang up from the dead

His body
reconfigured
reassembled
into
something new
   the Ecclesia--
   aka the Church
