Overcoming Death In Power of Christ

Easter time for so many is real fun well so many think that's so the real true meaning has got lost among the choc eggs on the show To me, Easter reminds me of a man who lived in Israel 2000 years ago he was human but claimed to be God having twin natures fully to grow Despite the good that he displayed the ordinary man's understanding of him was zero because of his original sin having minds that were somewhat dim This man was Jesus the son of God who mankind wanted to be dead so on Calvary's cross was crucified the one who was the living bread But after three days in the grave this Jesus arose in risen power showing victory over death no less this indeed was God's finest hour The power of Christ overcame death being the true Easter message to me showing that one day I'll rise from death in Christ's power face to face Jesus I'll see (I am sometimes overwhelmed by all of the hype during the holiday seasons. For example, now we are approaching Easter with Easter bunnies, Easter chickens, Easter eggs, and crosses in various styles and colors. This is what Easter means to me. )

I think the input of bunnies and eggs, help children realise the magic of rebirth. Prolific breeders and new born chicks from eggs, are a way in to a story too horrific to tell young children. Its we, as adults must be careful to keep the real reason for Easter alive. I like your poem Gordon. Easter greetings my friend.

Gordon, I can't tell you how comforting to find this poem. I share your feelings. Pagan customs overshadow the reality. I agree Christ is the Son of God. But he NEVER said he was God. Can discuss. on soup mail if you like. Since I agree so much with you, I'd like your TRUE FEELINGS on my Easter contest poem Take care my poetry friend
