“‘I will send my
messenger ahead of you,
who
will prepare your way before you.’
I can denounce a king,
but I cannot enthrone one.
I can strip an idol of its power,
but I cannot reveal the true God.
I can wash the soul in sand,
but I cannot dress it in white.
I can devour the word of the Lord
like wild honey,
but I cannot lace his sandal.
I can condemn sin,
but I cannot bear it away.
Behold the Lamb of God,
who takes away the sin of the world.
(John Shea)
