| THE RESURRECTION |
| The Resurrection
(Matthew 28) They laid Jesus in the tomb and Rolled a great stone over the door. But the chief priests and Pharisees Came to Pilate asking for more. Saying, "This deceiver while He lived, said He would rise again in three days. We want the tomb sealed lest His disciples steal His body away. On the first day of the week A great earthquake was heard. For an angel of the Lord had rolled The stone away according to God's word. His countenance was like lightning, His raiment white as snow. The resurrection would soon be told, For all the world to know. When the women came to the tomb With spices, the stone was rolled away. They stepped inside to see Where Jesus' body once lay. The angel said, "Do not be afraid. Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, He is risen, As the Holy Scripture has said." Mary turned around and saw Jesus, But knew not that it was her Lord. Jesus said to her, "Why do you weep? Who are you looking for?" Thinking He was a gardener, she said, "Tell me where He is that I may take Him away." As He spoke her name she said, "Master, this is a very special day." Jesus then appeared to the disciples, Saying, "Peace be unto you." Showing them His hands and side, They were reminded of His Word anew. "Even as my Father has sent me, So send I you into the world, To be witnesses to many of all That you have seen and heard." |
