Here is a lovely poem by Max Lucado for this Easter Day. If you’d like to view it as an ecard with some gorgeous music you can do so here. We hope you have had a gorgeous day celebrating our Saviour’s resurrection.
With love, Anne and Ken
His Name is Jesus by Max Lucado
HIS BIRTH
Jesus…
He could hold the universe in His palm
but gave it up to float
in the womb of a maiden.
Christ became one of us.
and He did so to redeem all of us.
HIS MISSION
Jesus…
The man…
who spoke with such thunderous authority
and loved with such childlike humility.
The life of Jesus Christ
is a message of hope,
a message of mercy,
a message of life in a dark world.
HIS DEATH
Jesus…
The palm that held the universe
took the nail of a soldier.
On the eve of the cross,
Jesus made His decision.
He would rather
go to hell for you
than go to heaven without you.
HIS RESURRECTION
Jesus…
the moment He removed the stone,
He removed all reason for doubt.
Christ’s resurrection
is an exploding flare
announcing to all sincere seekers
that it is safe to believe.
-Max Lucado
