There was no body
in the grave
when they came
to anoint him
that Sunday.
It was empty.
Later in the day
he appeared
and reappeared
to those
who had known
and loved him.
Some recognized him
immediately
and worshiped him
right there.
Others weren’t sure
who he was.
Still others doubted
he was
who he said
he was.
He showed them
the nail marks
in his hands
ate with them and
explained to them
what was written
about him
in the Scriptures.
Back from the dead,
it was a miracle
not even comparable
to the wine
he made from water
the furious storm he calmed
the thousands
upon
thousands he fed
and
the incredible healings
he had done.
Truly He is the Son of God
the Messiah
the Christ
the Savior,
deserving of all praise,
for He came to die
and yet He lives.
