Three Days Prior

Friday, three days prior; The Son was scourged and bleeding. Sunday, when He rose again- A spotless Lamb proceeded. Friday, three days prior; The Son had cried: “forsaken?” Sunday, when He rose again- The keys of hell were taken. Friday, three days prior; The Son of God was dead. Sunday, when He rose again- Trembling demons fled. Friday, three days prior; The Son was laid to rest. Sunday, when He rose again- He bore a Royal Crest. Friday, three days prior; The Son was in a tomb. Sunday, when He rose again- The Rose of Sharon bloomed. Friday, three days prior; The Son was set in stone. Sunday, when He rose again- He claimed His rightful throne.

Greetings, Tom. Your spirituality is a great inspiration for we Christians. Your structure is a fanastic example of alliteration. Your sermons must be very inspiring.
