He Has Risen

“He is not here; He has risen!”
-Luke 24:6

Life.
A blinding white crack
of the sky,
Heaven releasing,
a tomb rolled away.
Angels rejoicing,
the Lamb revealing
the glory of His Father.

We are no longer
held buried under
the weight of our burden,
the sting of death,
diminished.

Look.
Paint your eyes
across His face,
aflame with
unsurpassing beauty.

Feel.
The scars between
His palms,
tender testament
to a crime
punished
and forgotten.

A slice of sword
underneath
His beating
rib cage.

What once
held rust and ruin
sparkles
triumphant
in the Light.

Prayer:

Thank You for the good news of our salvation!! You have defeated death to bring us victory into eternity! Amen and Amen, hallelujah!!
