Yesterday we celebrated Easter along with millions of others. Common themes were: bunnies, dyed eggs, spiral-cut ham, purple baskets, plastic eggs filled with surprises, etc. I struggle to keep from being distracted from the awesome reason for the holiday–the triumphant resurrection of Jesus Christ. I seek never to be complacent about the impact of that message. Because of Jesus, I have hope in a time to come when I can associate with those I love. Death will be no barrier. Easter is the time to bask in His love and promises. (And, yes, to be over-filled with ham and children’s laughter!)
The post below contains the last verses of a poem entitled “Who is Jesus Christ?”.
Jesus Christ suffered for us all on that last great night.
Our sins pressed blood from every pore in Gethsemane’s moonlight.
Judas led armed men unto God’s son. 30 silver coins damned his soul.
They took Christ on the darkest night our world will ever know.
The wicked leaders of the Jews condemned and spat upon our Lord.
Then Pilot, governor from Rome, pled to save him from that blood-thirsty hoard.
The evil leaders of the Jews cried, “Let His blood be upon us?”
Then sent Christ to the place of the skull to satisfy their lust.
Nailed to a cross, between two thieves, Christ asked God to forgive.
Then our Lord gave up his life and went home to God to live.
Christ’s torn body was laid in the tomb as Roman guards stood by.
Angels came and Jesus rose as the third dawn filled the sky.
We believe that Jesus Christ died for every living soul,
And for all who come to know him, our testimonies grow.
Praise to Him from dawn to eve. He is the one true way.
His life and light guide all who seek, learn and obey.
