Sunday is Coming


Jesus was arrested, tortured, and abused

His people were mocked, mistreated, and confused

How could they take Him?

What are we to do…where are we to go?

Should we fight, should we stand?

Should we hide, should we flee?

Has it all been a lie?

Now that our Jesus is to die

Never leave us nor forsake us…

This is what we were told

This is why we stood bold

Yet…now He’s on a cross

And we are suffering this great loss

A good man He was

But now it’s over…

We are alone and afraid

Hiding, waiting to see His grave

We never thought this day would come

Now…we are simply left…numb

Where do we go now?

Back to our boats?

Back to our families?

Many disciples were perplexed at this ending

Is it really over?

Had Jesus left?

These thoughts would penetrate our minds as well but we know…

Sunday is coming

Death cannot hold Him

Sunday is coming

Sin has no victory

Sunday is coming

A spear in the side is nothing more than a splinter

Sunday is coming

Nails in my God’s hands and feet are nothing but scars…

Sunday is coming

Spitting, mocking, taunting are just words

Sunday is coming

Legs broken and mangled don’t change one fact…

Sunday is coming

A giant stone to keep Jesus in and people out is simply a pebble…

Sunday is coming

SUNDAY IS COMING

SUNDAY…CAME!

The glorious day of Easter occurred

An empty tomb is where He emerged

Our sin paid for and our debt reconciled…

The truth didn’t end on that Friday…

Sunday came and Jesus rose

The disciples concerns were no more

As Jesus showed them the scars that He bore

So this week and every minute of your life…

Embrace this glorious truth…

Sunday is coming
