So wait, the tomb is empty? What does this mean? What does it mean for me? Somehow, You did not lose. You defeated death, so It’s not the end after all? And even when the news tells us That evil is winning, It’s really not? My hope is back—You Carried away my sin, Dumped it at the gates of hell—and Came back lugging my hope On Your shoulders. Joy buoys me to weightlessness. No problem can chain me To hell’s surly bonds, No matter how big I think it is. No habits, no behaviors, Can keep me from You, From Your love. This still makes no sense to me, But who cares? Good news is good news, No matter how sensible it is. If You’re on my side, Who can stand against me? New life, new beginning, I am free— Humbled and grateful And oh so free. David K. Carpenter April 17, 2022 – Resurrection Sunday Copyright © 2022 by David K. Carpenter, All rights reserved
In the power of Jesus’ mighty Name, I pray that we all live into the freedom He bought for us with His blood. Let us all go shine His light into the darkness. Christ is risen, so let’s live like it! God bless you!
