Happy Easter to you all!
 
In advance...
 
Now, it is dark, gloomy and hopeless. The silence is poignant, eerie and reeks of evil presence. All the minions from hell are on guard. Yet... It seems all is lost. The saints weep. Angels are stunned in shock. But…   Morning comes after the night. Weeping may endure at night but joy comes in the morning!  Huge congrats for resurrecting with our Lord Jesus into a new life this coming Sunday!    We write devotions, mantras, poetry, songs and stories to celebrate this majestic historical incidence of the Easter story of freedom from our enslavement to sin, physical death and salvation.
 
 This Friday, there are two main characters: the Protagonist and the Antagonist hero in a battle to win the soul of mankind. The first setting is Calvary in Jerusalem. There is a shift. The setting moves to the spiritual realm. There is a twist in the tale. The defeated becomes the victor!! There’s a flashback in the prologue - before the beginning of time, the battle has long been fought and won…
 So, a character in my historical fantasy book, ‘The Captive’s Crown’ recites the poem below:
Enjoy!
 
AT THE TOMB
 
The earthquake woke me up
My heart said, go to the tomb
My soul lent me strength
My will lent me courage
My spirit carried my flesh
My feet carried me to the tomb
 
My eyes have seen the empty tomb
My ears have heard the miraculous of all
Wonders and mysteries:
My Lord has risen!
He has the victory
He has gone before me
My Lord is Abba!!
