Deserving

The Fulfillment
The Fulfillment

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.
