If Jesus Had Not Risen

If Jesus had not risen
We would have been hopeless sinners
Sentenced to eternal destruction
Condemned and lost forever

If Jesus had not risen
His death on the cross would have been useless
Eternal life wouldn’t have been certain
His mission on earth would have been defeated

Thank God He rose from the dead
It was suffering and agony on Friday
Silence and humiliation on Saturday
But Sunday was glorious as He rose back to life

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
