The Tomb

In stillness before day, Feet tread, afraid Of wakening the dawnSabbath gone. Mourners comethese did not run When hope was dethroned, When nail drove through bone. Black space yawns where door should seal Them out, Him in. One step in, crowding to see, Where is the body? Seeds of hope dislodge despair Suddenly, two men when none were there. The women drop to the floor. In this place of death, you seek Life? Did the Son not say, ââ¬ËLook for me on the third day?’ Trembling, they rise Joy shines through eyes As they realize: Our Lord is alive! Power of gravebroken. Sting of deathlike dew in sun. The women run. L. Nagel The messengers encouraged the women at the tomb to remember Jesus’ words. Jesus said He would come back to life, and He did!
