The Paradox of the Christian Faith

by Lea Emmett

The poor are rich
The weak are strong
The grieving find comfort
The hungry are sated
The humble are exalted
The blind are the only ones who truly see

Who is this God of seeming hypocrisy?
Who speaks in stories riddled with lessons
Of paradox and irony
Who’s come to flip the world upside down
Like His indignant tables
And expose every dark space
With His word

How radical
How revolutionary
Is our meek King
Jesus
