Risen

      Yesterday, I shared a previous writing on the Crucifixion. Today, I share one I wrote this morning about my risen Saviour. 

Risen

 

The crucifixion was complete;

All was bleak.

Finally, there was silence

Instead of violence.

The next day, women came

to view the grave-

A stone-covered cave.

They found-

The stone rolled away,

An angel in shining array,

An empty tomb,

And guards fearing doom.

The space within was vacant;

The women shaken.

The Angel spoke,

“Do not fear.

He is not here.

He is risen from the dead.

Nothing is left to dread;

Only good news to proclaim.

Jesus is alive!

Rejoice in His holy name!”
