Resurrected
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
John 11:25 - 26
The Resurrected Life
How beautiful -
the offer
to a kind of life
that never ends.
An offer that,
though the
earth-bound body withers,
brings an exchange
for an eternal
kind of life.
What hope-
to know that our
most pain filled moments,
yes-
even the moments that
usher us towards
ash itself,
prompt us
closer to a forever home
with the
One, true Resurrector.
That we, through death,
are brought closer
to that God- person
who conquered
all
and rose
into a new kind
of living.
Closer to the One who,
through our simple belief,
changes the future
of our very souls.
Closer to the
Holy Son
who saw this earth
as the blip it is-
a small thread
in a vast, cosmic tapestry.
Every breath
bringing us closer
towards
resurrection for reunion
with our Jesus-
Oh, how beautiful.
