An Easter Poem 


Have you ever thought of what Easter really means,

of the awful cross and resurrection scenes.

Jesus came from the peace of heaven to a sinful earth

to fulfill Gods promise by a virgin birth.

 

He came to die was his foremost thought,

so that into His Father’s presence we could be brought.

He was beaten, he was scorned, and He was spat upon too,

all that He endured was for me, and for you.

 

As Jesus was nailed to that cross of wood,

if only we clearly understood.

That the pain, and the agony that He did bear,

was by His love and through His pain-filled prayer.

 

As you open your Easter card or even your chocolate egg,

please take thought of the true Easter, I sincerely beg.

Jesus died that we might live, only He could pay that price,

as the way back to God is through Jesus, who is that sacrifice.

 

Therefore, Jesus has done what we could not do,

and provides a way back to God for me and for you.

So, as you’re thoughts are drawn to Easter today,

seek Jesus to be your Saviour, He's the Life, the Truth and the Way.
