The Easter Story
Apr 13, 2017 17:33:54 #
this is a tad longer than I prefer
but beautiful indeed
From the garden of Gethsemane
where Jesus knelt to pray
to the betrayal done by Judas
on that grim and fateful day
from the mighty hands of pilate
who wished to let Him be
to the noble priests and leaders
who refused to set him free
from the crown of thorns upon his head
and lash marks from a strap
to the weight of such a heavy cross
placed there upon his back
From the thief who hung beside him
crying"Lord,remember me"
to the gentle words of Jesus
"today,you'll be with me"
From the darkness of the noon-time
as he died upon the cross
to the earth that shook and trembled
in response at such a loss
From the cheering cries of soldiers
as they took his body down
to the caring hands of Joseph
a follower new in town
From the tomb where he was laid to rest
in linen cloth of white
to the guards who had to stand close by
throughout both day and night
From the stone that blocked the entrance
as it gently rolled away
to the miracle that happened
as the guards all turned and fled
to the words that came from Angels
"HE HAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD"
From the frightened eyes of Mary
as she swiftly left that place
to the light that flowed from Jesus
when she saw him face to face
From the doubt of his disciples
when she spoke of resurrection
to the fear upon their faces
as He walked in their direction
From the written word of scripture
He fulfilled in prophecy
to the eleven who had gathered
on a hill in Galilee
From the words that had been spoken
before He went away
to His ascension into Heaven
where he lives this very day
From the bible on the mantle
to the words you need to heed
to find wisdom in its pages
and a light to sow the seed
From the death and resurrection
to the one we hold so dear
to the coming of his spirit
now that Easter time is here
From the colored eggs and candy
and an orchid trimmed in blue
to the truth found there in scripture
CHRIST JESUS DIED FOR YOU
(Marilyn Furguson)

A tad longer for something so pointed is absolutely perfect...
From the death and resurrection
to the one we hold so dear
to the coming of his spirit
now We are here........
As I see it...
The most Devine love ever to be known.. That which comes from our Lord above...,
