Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Jesus was crucified,

many called Him the King of Jews.

For this He would surely die,

those telling their only King of this news.

Jesus was stripped naked, wore a crown of thorrns,

stake nails driven into Him, feeling so worn.

After hanging from the cross for six hours,

His spirit gave in, Jesus was dead.

Laid in a tomb to rest, a rock covered his dying bed,

once again the only King had his powers.

Darkness suddenly covered the land,

Jesus' spirit had given in.

A great earthquake shook so grand,

tombs opening, rocks splitting.

This event was on the third day,

thinking Jesus no longer alive.

Tombs opening brought the Holy ones alive to stay,

an Angel appeared in Bright White.

This is what the Angel had to say,

"Jesus has Risen, see the tomb I am right."

Women ran to the tomb to see,

surely they were amazed.

The tomb was empty,

shouting, shocked as they gazed.

They repeated what the Angel had said,

"Jesus has Risen," as others were near.

While on their way to tell disciples Jesus appeared,

the women were stunned running through the street.

Jesus said, "Do not fear,"

as the women fell kissing his feet.

Jesus spoke, "Tell my brothers, to go to Galilee,

all along Jesus appeard while disciples prayed.

He appeared to them by the sea,

eyes agazed their they stayed.

Jesus spoke, "I am the life and Resurrection,

in me ye shall believe."

"He whosoever takes salvation,

will forever live with me."

"Come time for you to be called home,

do not fear or think twice."

"Forever you shall surely roam,

with me in Paradise."

Diane, I truly love your poem regarding our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You gave a great account of John 20 in what you wrote and it should serve as a great reminder to all who read it that Jesus is, indeed, the One and Only King and He lives today and eternally, and we who believe shall live and reign with Him. Again, This is a great poem. You may want to read my poem entitled, The Man In The Middle.
