Jesus the Great Riser

A lot of us are not great risers many a morning we hate that alarm wish we could throw it out the window but there was one with a mighty arm Think on Jesus living 2000 years ago imagine you're a disciple following Him there then He was crucified dead on a cross you are distraught thinking it's not fair Then three days later news got through the tomb was open but Jesus was gone you couldn't take it in He had risen Peter and John had been there at dawn Amazing this! the Messiah came to life yes it was true Jesus defeated death showing His deity as the great riser as God's son, truth He always saith (As I was thinking on our great redeemer and the phrase ' He is not here, he has risen', I have written this putting ourselves as a disciple of Jesus in these dramatic days.)

love this wonderful write Gordon...I have always gotten teary eyed seeing him portrayed in movies on the cross...even in a church looking at the large crosses draw tears to my eyes...if we ever needed a miracle in our day and age, it's now... I pray with my rosary nightly, kiss Jesus on the cross and fall asleep with my rosary in my hands... stay safe my friend... hugs and blessings :)

So pleased you loved it so much Sandy, thankfully we can come to Jesus as we are in prayer praying through him to our father in heaven knowing he hears us as nothing to him we can bring but cling to the cross in faith alone. Stay safe my dear friend, Blessings and hugs, Gordon
