He is Risen: A Poem about the Resurrection

He is risen–
After darkness had its say,
on the third day the tomb’s stone door
rolled away.
Again Jesus walked, talked, touched, and ate.
In awe, witnesses testified,
“Death is not his fate!”

He is risen–
The once scared, fleeing disciple crew
turned around realizing
the prophecies were true.
With a faith immensely greater than fear,
they sacrificed it all to
make the Good News clear.

He is risen–
Jesus bore the world’s sin upon the cross,
sacrificing himself so no one would be lost.
His work was sufficient,
but a response is required;
by grace we are saved
when our belief transpires.

He is risen–
Faith sends an invite to start anew.
Give Christ your burdens and notions untrue.
Accept his forgiveness and salvation at the end.
Love the transformation the Holy Spirit extends.

He is risen indeed!
When Jesus rose, a new creation began
for all who believe and trust in God’s plans.
Through his power, our darkness is rolled away–
“Jesus is the light,” his resurrection proclaims!
