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!”

[20] But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

[53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
[54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
[55] O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
[56] The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
[57] But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

One of the most precious gifts given to man is the salvation from the death of Yahoshua our Messiah, the son of Yahweh.
Absolutely!
The best gift that mankind has received is the give of our Savior and redemption from sin.
Yes o!
Thank God Christ has risen and lives in us everyday… That’s the best thing that happened in my life…❤
Ride on Ma..
I have the every same testimony. May the Lord bless and keep you in Jesus’ name.
Such a very beautiful poem. It contains the message of salvation and whispers to the heart of the reader.
Thanks for this amazing piece.
Jesus death and suffering was not in vain
At all!
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
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.
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.
