EASTER SUNDAY 2016
It
is distressing to catch the news these days.
Listen
to what the authorities say.
They
unanimously call it genocide.
They
say that too many Christians have died.
Why
have so many Christians willingly died,
For
siding with One who was crucified?
The
blood of the martyrs cries out from the ground,
They
are proclaiming a faith that they have found.
Their
bodies are piling up in a mound.
Christians
are persecuted all the world around.
Do they really believe they are heaven bound?
As
they fall to their deaths, does it make a sound?
As
parents we think that it is quite neat
To
watch our children searching for treats.
How
could Easter eggs and bunnies be beat?
But
there is something else I need to repeat.
ISIL
forces we are trying to defeat.
Think
about that as you eat your Easter treats.
Is
the Easter story just something we read?
Do
we really believe Christ rose from the dead?
Do
we really believe the things that he said?
Does
this belief fill our hearts and our heads?
If
Jesus our Savior is no longer dead,
Then
we know there is nothing for us to dread.
