Resurrection

Linda Louise Johnson
When I see the empty tomb

and hear the angels say

"Why do you seek the living among the dead?" . . .

When I walk the road to Emmaus

and hear You say

"Why are you so troubled?"

When the Magdalene comes running

saying "I saw Him,

I saw the Master!"

When I stay up all night

and bring in nothing

but see You on the shore

saying "Come and eat.". .

When I stand gazing into the sky

and the angels tell me

"This same Jesus...

will come back

the way you saw Him

ascend into heaven" . . .

I rejoice.

Jesus was seen by many eyewitnesses during the 40 days after the crucifixion until He ascended into heaven

    Lovely expression of faith, Linda. (Sorry I didn't see it before Easter. But at least I saw YOU the day before!)

    How beautiful! I hope you had a wonderful Easter. As I pondered the Resurrection this weekend I was so uplifted. What a remarkable and precious gift we have, our Savior and Redeemer. It's my testimony, too, that He lives. Thanks for sharing this.

    Amen! I wanted to write something for Easter, but couldn't be here most of this past week. Please excuse me if I'm not around a lot - I really wanted to read more of your articles, but am having a series of bad disk flare ups in my back, and must sit at computer only to do whatever articles I can, so can't spend a lot of time doing comments.

    I couldn't say it any better. I hope you had a happy Easter.

    My Internet is at least connecting, albeit fairly slowly - so I'm returning comments while watching Craig Ferguson (he gets his robot skeleton sidekick today!)
