Poem
Born into this world as a humble, helpless Babe Christ increased in wisdom and stature Grew up in favour with both God and man Baptised publicly by John the Baptist Tempted by the devil, but overcame him Preached the gospel of the kingdom of God Befriended the publicans and the sinners Turned the water into wine, did miracles Cast out demons, healed all kinds of diseases Backed up twelve fishermen as His disciples Taught them, led them, and washed their feet Spent three and a half years moulding them Broken, He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane His sweat as blood, such spiritual agony Ready to do the will of God and drink the cup Beaten and scourged on the way to Calvary A crown of thorns placed upon His head Spat upon, mocked, and smote by the soldiers Bruised, He was crucified on the cruel Cross He hung there with no form nor comeliness Reviled by passers-by wagging their heads Bereft and forsaken by His own Father Carrying the sins of the entire world He suffered and bled, but forgave and loved Beseeching His Heavenly Father to receive His Spirit Lord Jesus Christ gave up his ghost on the Cross And the veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom Buried in a new rock sepulchre, the stone was rolled The tomb was sealed and the watch was set But on the third day, as prophesied, our Lord rose up Behold, there was a great earthquake The angel of the Lord descended from heaven And rolled back the stone and sat upon it Bewildered, the women heard him saying, “Fear not, ye seek Jesus who was crucified, He is not here, for He is risen, come see where they laid Him” Brutal death could not chain our Lord, He overcame it and appeared to His disciples And was carried up into heaven Believe on the Lord Jesus, He was crucified for our sins, But He resurrected from the dead, never to die again Now He sits on the right hand of God, interceding for our sins Beloved, He will come back one day Not as the Lamb, but as the Lion To take His loved ones unto Himself Before it is too late, accept Him into your heart You will enjoy peace, love and joy, which this world can’t offer Repent, believe and rejoice for the Lord Jesus Christ is alive. 9th April, 2022 For Regina McIntosh's "Easter" contest
