Poem
The events of the morning Were told to the men. Two raced to the tomb One stooped and went in. "Indeed, it is empty!" Was all they could say, And with minds full of wonder, They walked slowly away. As two other men journeyed To Emmaus that day, They were joined by a stranger As they went on their way. "Good men," said the stranger, In a voice, loud and clear, "What has happened To make you so somber and drear?" So, they told the sad story Of their terrible loss. How their hope of God's Kingdom Had been slain on a cross. Of their deep disappointment, And how bitterly they grieved. "Now some say He's risen! But dare we believe?" "Remember the prophecy," The stranger then said, "How Messiah must die, But would rise from the dead?" Then He quoted the words Of the prophets of old. The Calvary story Had been truly foretold. On reaching Emmaus, They asked Him to stay And join them for supper, As it was late in the day. When He blessed the bread, To their joyous delight, They knew it was Jesus. Then, He vanished from sight. He appeared to them all In various ways. They rejoiced in His presence For forty more days. Then, one day He blessed them With heavenly love, And ascended from earth To His Father above. The Lamb of the cross, Is now King on His throne. For the sins of the world, His blood still atones. Man, once sentenced to die, May, now, be free from death's prison. Go spread the glad news, "He's not dead-- He is risen!"
