" For God so loved the world,
that He gave
His only begotten Son; That whosoever believeth in
Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
John: 3:16
***
Soon they would know the
Master's plan,
He had risen, on the third day.
In the garden he walked in testimony,
that He lives, still today.
With body whole and palms
scarred deep,
all wept for His precious love.
Only through Jesus is His Father's kingdom,
and an eternal life above.
He walked that evening among his
frightened disciples,
a spirit they thought he be.
"Touch my hands, my body of flesh,"
" It is I; Jesus; It is me."
And so He told them, "You must
spread the word",
the prophecy has been carried through,
I died; I rose, I now walk among,
men just like you.
Many times He would appear
before them,
to others He would as well.
At the sepulchre where he once lay,
about His resurrection He would tell.
For forty days He still
remained,
on earth he continued His walk.
Then from Jerusalem to Mount Olivet,
He and the Disciples would talk.
They heard the sounds of the
trumpet's blast,
before them appeared a cloud.
Around the Son it swallowed Him up,
and ascended to the Heavens as vowed.
In amazement they stared into
the sky,
while two men in white proclaimed,
One day He will again appear,
and His believers He will claim.
