MESSIAH HAS PASSED TO GLORY (POEM)
“This cannot just be right
His disciples stole him by night
He cannot eclipse our light
When we thought we’d won the fight”
These leaders did not know
The prophets said it’d be so
He’d suffer and die to show
To sin all men could say, “No!”
And risen from the dead
To God’s right hand exalted
He’s ensuring that we’re made
His people, o’er creation the head
Our endless “Hallelujahs”
Help us proclaim, “Alas,
Death, sin and loss will pass
Because Messiah to glory has!”

Happy Easter, everyone! 💖

At all!
Scriptural reality expressed in poetry. Awe-inspiring, ma’am.
This poem reflects the belief and conviction of Christians in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the hope and joy that it brings.
Thank you, Aunty Edith.
The death of Jesus Christ should be a reminder to all Christians that God loves us and gave his only son up for our redemption
May his name be highly exulted
Thanks Aunty Edith for sharing this lovely poem
The story of Christ is the real definition of a tragedy. To be persecuted by those you intend to die for, to be betrayed by those you trust, to be denied and to be crucified by those you cannot bring yourself to hate. Praise the name of our Lord Jesus. Amen.
Christ paid the price for me
Glory be to his name alone
He’d suffer and die to show to sin all men could say NO..one word I’m still trying to learn..it isn’t that easy to say no to sin…but I believe he has paid the price on the cross
This just reminds us of the love of God which is why he sent Christ to die for us. We must sing praises to God for his love and we must praise him at all times.
He is really the Messiah.
A thrilling poem.
For John 3 vs 16says , for God’s so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son that whosever believes in him, will not perish but have an everlasting life. God’s love for us is immeasurable.
I believe that he died and rose again
Of course we should all be prepared for that day when he shall come as a judge since he has come as a saviour the first time to save sinners then died and went back in glory
Christ paid the debt we could not pay,
We should reciprocate the love of God in sending his son to die for our sins by surrendering totally to Him.
Jesus Christ death on the cross is the best gift to man , it’s a living testimony of Gods love. His death on the cross is not in vain at all.
He died that we might live
Praise God!
This is a very interesting poem.Well done ma.
Christ buried my shame in the tomb and resurrected in glory Amen
Jesus suffering will not be in vain in my life.
“Oh death where is thy sting,oh grave where is thy might”
Christ was persecuted but didn’t stay down, why will I stay down when I’m persecuted. Hallelujah for Christ is risen and I am alive in him.
This poem is perfect for the season that we are in because Easter is fast approaching.
An opportunity to reflect on Christ’s unflinching love for us.
This poem reminds me of the love Christ has for us. We must learn to always be reminded about the love God has for us.
Christ paid the price for me and he is risen in glory!
Christ paid the price for me and you on cross and arose in the glory of God which the Jew and the soliders are trying to denie by saying that his disciples has taken his body by night
The significance of death of and the resurrection of christ is the greatest gift mankind has ever had. It’s the greatest love shown towards us.
Thank you for the poem ma.
Christ’s death created a path way for the newness of mankind. It served as a new beginning where man could fellowship one-on-one with God with the forgiveness of our sins and our redemption.
Christ’s resurrection serves as a basis for Christianity. It is the most important factor that have rise to Christianity. I will say that, ‘No resurrection, no Christianity.’
Christ’s resurrection is the best gift given to mankind..
Christ has risen as he said. Alleluia!
Jesus is the greatest gift of mankind.
The joy of man is to have the Savior, the one who saves.
This piece is beautifully articulated.
The best gift we were given as humans is the gift of salvation. God is indeed faithful
Our salvation comes from God. He is the sacrificial lamb that died to redeem us from sin. His love for humanity doesn’t have boundary.
Salvation is the greatest gift mankind ever received, I’m glad to be able to partake in it.
How funny they thought He was stolen by His disciples, I guess they thought He was also dubious due to the many accusations they levied on Him. The wounded Messiah yet endured all things that He might give everlasting life to humanity, not minding what they did to Him.
Where would man be without Christ. Christ in us is our hope of Glory.
Thank you so much ma’am for this edifying poetry.
They didn’t believe in the resurrection of Christ but indeed God’s ’s word prevailed.
All we are is nothing but the product of His priceless redemption and sacrifice, and for that we owe Him everything. Thank you Jesus! Thanks ma’m for this reflective poem.
The greatest gift we ever received ☺️
May his name be glorified. Amen
God’s death was never in vain, thank God that jesus truly resurrected, making our religion legit and enabling us to proudly say we are serving a living God.
Christ has risen and his death is not in vain

The death of Jesus is one of the most precious gift given to man for salvation
The biggest gift and love God has shown mankind is the redemption plan. The very essence of Christianity is rooted in the death and resurrection of Christ. Its hard to believe love could make him do this.
I liked the rhyme scheme Ma, thank you for reminding us about our saved status.
Christ is Risen, Hallelujah!

One week to another marking of his eternal love for us. While we were yet sinners, he loved us. Love like no other.
Christ paid the price for my sins and for that am grateful to Him
.. ” whosoever Believes in him shall not perish but have an everlasting live”. Amen.
.. ” whosoever Believes in him shall not perish but have an everlasting life”. Amen.

Beautiful poem. Coincidentally, I read this in the season of Easter. Christ reigns forever!
This poem totally talks about this season.
How I wish I existed then to see the shock on the faces of the soldiers😂😂.
The rhyme scheme acutely reverberates the sound of victory every Christian sings.
Glory to God, He is risen.
I wonder how and where we would all be if there was no Christ and His death.
I believe it’s the best thing to happen to mankind.
It contains the message of salvation and whispers to the heart of the reader.
How ironic that they believed He had been taken by His disciples, judging by the numerous accusations they leveled against Him. I suppose they also believed He was suspect. Regardless of what they did to Him, the wounded Messiah suffered all so He could grant humanity eternal life
No man born of a woman can stop what God has destined before time
He’s risen! I’m risen in Him! Death had no hold on Him! His sacrifice has purchased and purified me.
Christian belief in Jesus’ resurrection and the hope it brings to believers. The death of Christ was a reconciliation between God and Man.
Jesus death was not for nothing!
Happy Sunday Ma.
Greatest gift mankind has received, his death is not in vain. Thank God Christ has risen and now lives in us.

God loves us so much we should never doubt that.
The soldiers were not even ashamed of themselves due to their inefficiency. They wanted to make the people not to believe the message of resurrection.
Thank God that man is not God. His Words will always prevail.
You can’t use money to silence light. 13] Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

Christ is alive and because of that we believers are alive in Christ. Hallelujah!
A beautifully crafted poem that captures the essence of Easter, celebrating the resurrection of Christ and the victory over sin and death. The verses echo the hope and joy of the holiday. Happy Easter! 🙏🌟
These passages highlight key events and teachings from the Bible, emphasizing the significance of Jesus in Christian faith, from His miraculous birth to His victory over sin and death.
There is nothing more than one sacrificing his life for others. Christ did what seemed impossible to give us salvation and also pave way for us to make heaven. There’s nothing more than that! We are forever grateful lord.
Every season in our life’s is the will of God for we are all wired to align to his plans for us.
God won’t give you a burden more than you…. Jesus aligned to the last,even when doubt arose he still trusted the process.
God knows the end from the beginning.
Trust the process…for “No process No product”.
Messiah has truly shown how much he love and care for us and our well being is his number one priority.
This poem is talking about the risen Christ how they rolled a stone over his tomb yet he came out victorious the rhymes of the poem and the quotations are exceptional and also the use of octave in the post.
