Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.”
-John 14:8-
Just one more thing, Jesus, and I’ll be satisfied.
I promise!
This is the last thing!
Eyebrows raise.
“You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied.”
Don’t quote Hamilton to me,
Holy Spirit, because
I’m being very serious.
Just one more thing, Jesus, and I won’t even ask for
one more thing, maybe ever.
I’m a woman who has never been satisfied
but just because
what satisfies is always
just around the corner
amirite Jesus?
Am I right?
Am I?
Just show us the Father, Philip says sagely,
just show us the Divine Light.
We promise that we’ll be satisfied
if you give us another Spiritual Boost,
one more Mountaintop,
one more Revelation, and oh, please
pass me another glass of wine
real quick, ‘k?
And Jesus passes another cup of
the New Covenant in His Blood
down the table
to
his thirsty friend.
Philip, begging for a vision that will satisfy
while ripping off a piece of
bread
across from Jesus.
