Easter's Eternal Life Message

Below is an Easter poem that gives the message of how a person can receive God's gift of salvation and eternal life because of Jesus' death on the cross and His resurrection.

Easter's Eternal Life Message

Spring returns--replacing winter’s gloom.
Colorful spring flowers now in bloom.
Green grass replaces snow.
Migrating birds flying North--what a show.

Spring brings Easter--a joyful day--
Celebrating Christ Jesus’ rise from the grave.
On the cross He was crucified,
Atoning for our sins, as was testified.

God we thank for the hope Easter’s message gives us.
Eternal life and redemption is received by complete faith in Christ Jesus.
Resurrected bodies we will receive of glorified perfection.
This is Biblical truth--we thank God for His gift of Salvation.

I guess cause its autumn down here in Australia would explain why my views are so twisted and upside down.
Easter may be a special time for many. People who have families to visit. But I just see it as the only day of the year when the bottle shop is shut-and everything else for that matter.

Anyway, if you gat a few days off work or have an epiphany or whatever, I hope-as beetle says- that all beings are happy🙂

ON this Good Friday the following is appropriate:
For us Catholics who hold Jesus' Mother dear in our hearts here's a reason why:
Stabat Mater Dolorosa

Boccherini's is perhaps one of the most haunting settings of this beautiful poem!
