Beyond Human Comprehension
Beyond Human Comprehension
Believing that the Christ would rule
with military might,
disciples thought all hope was lost
as they mourned his death that night.
This tragedy of broken hearts
and, worse yet, broken dreams
hung on the mourners like a pall
of dark despair, it seems.
But on the day of Pentecost
God made his presence known,
turned tragedy to triumph
with Satan overthrown.
And we, like those disciples,
don’t always understand
how bad news in our daily lives
may fit into his plan
of working out all things for good,
in spite of pain and woe,
to offer full salvation
because he loves us so.
