“Poetry can be both a sword and a healing balm.”*
Read the poetic** writings of Isaiah 40-43.
Read the poetic writings of Wisdom 7.
Read the poetic writings of John 1.
Note thoughts of healing balm.
Note thoughts of a piercing sword.
Amen.

**By “poetic” here is meant,
expressions rich in images, metaphors,
comparisons, analogies, sense description,
other figures of speech, as well as
the symbolic and prophetic imagination.
