Easter

A poem and tribute to Easter and the risen Savior: Jesus Christ

Easter

“This is Jesus, the King of the Jews”

Crowned by a garland of thorns

The Father’s presence He must loose

Sacrificing all to save the worn

A trembling Earth mourning the loss

All of nature forbidding it to be diminished 

The veil has been ripped by the cross

Fulfilling the greatest promise: It is finished...

Spice-laden women arriving at the bare cave

Seeking Christ; He was not there, He is risen 

The absence of the stone defeating our grave

The empty strips of linen loosening our prison

Where ever goes the master pursues the servants

They trust in the truth and follow Him in victory

In triumph, by no works,  His care for the sinner is fervent

Through death continues the greatest love story
