I
AM THE RESURRECTION
Jesus
cried “It is finished” the Son of GOD was gone.
Satan
shouted out in glee; he thought that he had won!
They
took Jesus' broken body and placed it in a tomb,
His
family, his friends, his disciples, all were filled with gloom.
As
hell was rejoicing, loudly celebrating Jesus death,
There
was a sound that was heard that made them hold their breath.
Down
the corridor of hell walked a man bright as day,
He
was coming to claim the keys of death and take it's power away!
Death,
hell and the grave had to bow to His decree,
"Every
Saint held captive here is coming home with me!"
When
Sunday morning began to dawn with the brightness of the day,
The
angels descended and rolled the stone away!
The One who freely gave His life so that we might be saved,
Was
the One that triumphed over death, hell and the grave.
The
One who made the promise, "In three days I will Arise"
Is
now the One Proclaimed THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE!

What a lovely poem, Teresa. Thank you. It made me tear up to think about the sacrifice He made, and how all seemed lost on that horrible day they nailed Him on a rugged cross. And then Sunday came and He arose! He lives that we may live also! satan dances with glee over our dark moments and when all hope seems gone Sunday comes! I'm waiting for my Sunday! Blessed Easter, my sweet twin.
ReplyDeleteDIANA, I am waiting for my Sunday too! Even if it doesn't come until Heaven I'm encouraged with what Paul said in II Corinthians 4:17 "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;" Happy Easter and lots of love and (((HUGS))) to you!! :-)
