WHY ARE YOU WEEPING?

The great pain that Jesus endured on the cross was truly staggering,

The strongest would find it hard to bear the sight of such suffering!

The black clouds in the sky that hid the rays of the sun were ominous,

Jesus had breathed His last; But His last words had a victorious burst!

 

The crest-fallen disciples had failed to remember the words of the Lord,

He had promised that He would rise from the dead! He was the Son of God!

The lack of faith caused the disciples to lose all the hope they had,

Tiredness and sadness filled the heart; what could make them glad?

 

The heart of Mary Magdalene was crushed at the thought of Jesus’ death,

She went to the tomb of Jesus and there she wept with every breath.

Two angels spoke kindly to her and asked, “Why are you weeping?”

There was no reason to weep! There was every reason to be rejoicing!

 

Then Jesus came asked Mary the same question, “Why are you weeping?”

The tears would not stop, for such was the state of her heart in sorrowing!

Jesus finally revealed Himself to Mary as One who had risen from the dead!

The tears went away when her faith now stood on solid ground instead!

 

Our faith in the Resurrection of the Christ Jesus is not myth or fiction,

When we celebrate Easter, we celebrate our faith in Resurrection!

Death has no power or dominion over Christ Jesus our Lord.

We have faith that one day we will see our Saviour and our God!
