Summer Easter Reflections

The day called Easter
Has lately filled my heart
Thinking of all God did for us
His love he did impart.

He sent his Son to live on earth
To walk beside us along our way
To teach our souls to feel our worth
And live in our hearts to stay.

The lessons he taught were simple
Yet hard for us to do
Sin and pride to be laid aside
For his love in us to grow

He said to love your neighbor
And God with all your heart
To give to others you see in need
Would be a very good start

To put your treasure where it would last
Where thieves could not break in to steal
To forgive others for their past
Is a step toward being real.

His disciples listened carefully
To all that Christ did say
Their lives grew ever deeper
Walking with Him on the way

He backed the words that he had said
By miracles for all to see
He healed the sick and raised the dead
And spoke of eternity

And then Christ told his followers
The reason that he came
To lay down his life for us
For our sins erase the blame

At first they resisted him
They could not absorb the truth
That God sent his Son to die for us
A reflection of our worth.

One by one they saw the light
Christ came to reveal
That his sacrifice of death for us
From sin would help us heal
