Hi Thomas,

TY for another beautiful forum. I hope you have a Happy Easter!

Thanks Thomas,  very well put.  What Jesus did for us is just amazing.

Here are a couple of Easter poems that reflect his coming and then his death and resurrection. 

Have a blessed Easter as we celebrate Him!



















               






                        THE COMING



Lord....

You've come here to earth, to me, to all

In the form of a blessed child so small,
Yet more powerful than the forces in the universe,

And why not?
You made them...the stars, the planets,
The sources of their very existence.

Yet your form to man,
So meek and mild...a servant,

Teach us to comprehend, to grasp, to understand.
You've shown us yourself through rejection
Revilement, suffering and death,

Renew our enlightenment Lord!
Show us again your hands, your feet,
Your wounded side,

Your love for us...
So pure, complete and whole

In your body...broken.

               EASTER'S QUICKENING


Resurrection morning from darkened tomb
Renewed hope replaces gloom,

Heavy laden linen entwined with death,
Spice, and sacrifice...

There is deep mystery working here and
In my heart His breath is near,

Where cold and lonely darkness stood came a
Spark ignited by His blood...

As finite limits expand outer limits
Of all mankind.

Just as at the tomb that day, a heavy
Stone's been rolled away...

And in this act of quickening, a Spirit whisper
Fills my being.
