easter tomb burst open
new life
is
b

d
all that was sealed up in s i l e n c e
no longer has
power
there is memory
of the pain
and fear
and shame
and though
the darkness may hover
and mingle
and threaten
it no longer has
power to have the
last
word
the promise infused
empty tomb
of GOD'S boundless love
creates a new reality
______________
the empty tomb
did not birth a new religion
the empty tomb
brought forth
the
d

p
t
h of GOD'S love
those who see empty easter tomb
as doctrine alone
are intent on
staying in the tomb...
are determined to
limit GOD
and this is the very story
is it not?
those who tried to limit
GOD in the first easter story
failed miserably
no amount of shame
or pain
could stop GOD'S
desire
to birth
l
o
v
e
for
the whole world
for everyone
love
defines easter
love that could not
be sealed away
behind
stone
