EXPECTATIONS
(Luke 3:15-22)
After all the crowd
Jesus was also baptised,
then claimed, blessed by God.
In part John was wrong:
no clearing the threshing floor,
no winnowing fork.
John dared preach good news:
Jesus, filled with the Spirit,
the nearness of God.
We dare preach good news:
simply in living daily
the way of Jesus.
