A Man doing Woman’s Work

April 7, 2020

The​​ Man Carrying the​​ Water Jar

became a single link to a vacant

room in a busy and packed city

where capacity had been stretched

to the limit; the man doing woman’s work

was not ignored or ridiculed but sought

by none other than the Son of the Most High

who apparently was not offended

or threatened or disgusted by such a

man; instead he was a welcome resource

for the group of friends

needing a place for a Passover supper;

a guide to an otherwise hidden spot​​ and

so it seems that The Man Carrying

the Water Jar was a pivot for the​​ 

important Last Supper; someone​​ 

sought by God and it did not matter

why a man did not behave like a man

was supposed to; did not fit the norm
