Resurrection

Significant day, – the grave was secured:
the guard and the seal, as safe as they could;
ensuring his followers his body can’t steal,
to hoax men and and fabricate hopeless appeal.

What happened? The priests did not want to believe
the tale of the soldiers – gave bribes to deceive.
The disciples were changed – not by one who was dead,
but their Saviour had risen to life, as they said.

Death of Jesus Christ was real,
real the tomb and strong the seal;
genuinely from the grave
He was raised, equipped to save.
Our God is supernatural,
His purposes insuperable.
In kindness for our good He acts:
and who’s prepared to face the facts?
