The Tomb of Christ Is But the Bed

April 11, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Passover, which begins on the evening of April 8^th, and Easter, which is celebrated on April 12^th .

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

An Easter poem about Christ's resurrection:

The tomb of Christ is but the bed

He rested on three days.

Easter morn He rose again,

The flower of our spring.

On Him, arisen from the dead,

Must we, though flesh decays,

Bestow our faith that when we die

Our souls, like His, shall not long lie

Forsaken in our tomb.

Christ shall, with deep affection, when

He sees our soul's affliction, then

Redeem us with His pain.

In His eternal suffering

Shall we find grace enough to bring

The seed of faith to bloom.
