Easter Meditation

Jesus Christ,
Word of God
made flesh,
living
a human life,
loving
with the Father's love,
showing
within the selfish sinful world
the life of heaven above.

Jesus Christ,
crucified
upon a cross,
suffering
at human hands,
loving friend and enemy,
dying
from this selfish sinful world
to make them free.

Jesus Christ,
buried
in a tomb
by caring hands
who thought
the battle had been lost.

Jesus Christ,
risen
from the dead!
Alive
for evermore!
Our present Saviour!

Good news
from God to humankind!
Good news
to us today!
Good news
for all the world!
Lord Jesus,
come into our hearts today!
