The
cross, the sacrifice, the suffering
taking
on our sins, to reconcile us to the Creator
that
is the story, of Maundy Thursday,
of
the good, Good Friday, of the Saturday,
in
darkness, praying for the Light, the fulfillment.
But
without Easter, the story is incomplete
unfinished,
good but not triumphant
sin
put to death but no resurrection
the
Lamb a sacrifice, the humble Servant;
but
not the King, the Lamb upon the throne
We
need Easter, the risen Lord,
vanquishing
death, the tomb,
the
Adversary, Lucifer, Satan.
Rising
from grave, walking once more
with
the disciples, believers, with the faithful
Walking
on the Road to Emmaus,
communing
with them in the Upper Room
assuaging
their fear before His Ascension
preparing
them for the Pentecost
Rising
to his throne in heaven, promising His return
Laying
the way for our future
as
they would spread His word, His name
to
the ends of the earth
a
story, ultimately that would be. . .
Nothing
without Easter
