May this poem that covers Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, the sayings of Jesus from the Cross, and his resurrection from the dead to give us all “eternal life” be a blessing to you and yours.
On Palm Sunday’s grace-filled morn,
Jesus rode, a king adorned,
Upon a donkey, as prophets foretold,
His triumphal entry, to hearts it would unfold.
The crowd cried “Hosanna” loud and clear,
Laid garments and palms, with a plea sincere,
Yet little they knew of the sacrifice in store,
As he rode, their destiny to restore.
And then, upon that cruel tree,
The Son of God died for you and me,
With nails and thorns, he bore our sin,
His sacrifice, our victory to win.
“Eloi, Eloi, Lama sabachthani”
“My God, my God, why forsake me?”
In agony, he asked and paid sin’s cost,
For love divine, our souls he sought.
Then Easter dawned, the grave’s dark hold,
Could not confine The One foretold,
“Jesus is not here,” with glory unchained,
“Jesus is risen,” the angels proclaimed.
For death’s defeat, our voices raise,
With grateful hearts, we sing his praise,
The risen Christ, our hope secure,
His victory, our lives forevermore ensure.
So hear the call, O wandering soul,
To come to Christ, to be made whole,
For on that cross, he died for you,
And in his resurrection, gives us life anew.
Question 1: Has Jesus “entered” your life?
i.e., Have you believed in Jesus as your King & Lord?
Question 2: Is your life no longer “empty”?
i.e., Have you believed in Jesus as your Savior?
